hyperMILL^® integrated within Solidworks

Highest partner status:
Certified Gold Product

SolidWorks Corporation, developer of the popular Solidworks CAD product has certified the integration of OPEN MIND’s complete solution and has designated hyperMILL^® as a ‘Certified Gold Product’. This is SolidWorks’ highest award based on outstanding integration, quality and interoperability. To receive the ‘Certified Gold Product’ award, the partner product must go through a multilevel certification process. The requirements include full integration of the software user interface within SolidWorks^® and associative database linking of the geometric data of SolidWorks^®. In addition, SolidWorks^® reference customers must be able to use the software product effectively. In-house product tests are also conducted at SolidWorks to determine whether its high requirements are fulfilled. OPEN MIND Technologies released hyperMILL^® V9.7, including the SolidWorks^® integration in October 2007. And now hyperMILL^® has now successfully completed and passed the certification process.

Integrated process chains for CAD users

“Our CAD-integrated CAM solution hyperMILL^® has the advantage of allowing SolidWorks^® users to implement integrated process chains on their existing user interface,” explains Frank Eckstein, responsible for hyperMILL^® for SolidWorks in the Application Technology division at OPEN MIND. “In our software solution, the CAD and CAM systems both access the same database. A uniform data model is used for the entire process. This helps ensure transparency and accuracy in the production process and prevents errors.”
