Helping to cut machine cycle times

Open Mind, developer of hyperMILL, software for programming CNC machine tools, and CGTech, developer of Vericut software for simulating CNC machine tools, have announced a renewed agreement.

As part of this relationship, the two companies work closely to provide seamless integration between their products and customer support.

CGTech and Open Mind have already worked together to create an interface between hyperMILL and Vericut. The interface, which continues to be enhanced, is designed to help their mutual customers create a better machining process by providing an easy way to verify hyperMILL's post-processed machining paths in Vericut.

By simulating CNC programs on a computer without using the actual machine tool, hyperMILL users can realise significant savings by reducing machine cycle time, improving work quality and maximising throughput.
