"Notably, OPEN MIND developed the world's first CAD/CAM system utilizing an automatic multi-axis simultaneous machining strategy for mold and die, as well being the first developer in the industry to provide auto-indexing, and strategies for using conical barrel cutters and 5-axis helical drilling," said a company spokesperson. "The company continues to be at the forefront of key and emerging technologies, such as providing integration with additive manufacturing processes and supporting Industry 4.0 initiatives."
"We are pleased to continue our tradition of embracing the latest technology and innovation to provide superior CAD/CAM solutions," said Dr. Josef Koch, CTO and one of the founders of OPEN MIND. "OPEN MIND has significantly shaped and driven forward the development of modern 5-axis simultaneous machining in tool and mold manufacturing, and is successful in a wide range of industries including aerospace, automotive, turbomachinery, energy, medical and more."
"In addition to providing a high-performance tool path solution, OPEN MIND's hyperMILL software offers connectivity to CAD systems, feature and macro technology, tool management systems, automation, simulation, probing and more," continued the spokesperson. "Each year, two new software releases add enhanced functionality to the hyperMILL software suite to meet the industry's latest machining challenges."

We have over 10,000 customers and 20,000 hyperMILL installations worldwide, and are looking forward to continuing this momentum."
