OPEN MIND Technologies brings out best in machines

OPEN MIND Technologies is one of the world's leading developers of powerful computer-aided-design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) systems for machine and controller-independent programming. 

With its innovative CAM solution hyperMILL, users can generate optimised numerical control (NC)-milling and -turning programs for machine tools from digital models. The hyperCAD-S, meanwhile, is OPEN MIND's own CAD system. Designed to meet the special needs of NC programmers, hyperCAD-S is a dedicated CAD application for CAM users. 

"All our solutions include many innovative features not available elsewhere to deliver significantly higher performance in both programming and cutting machining," says CEO Volker Nesenhoner. "We push machining to its limits while incorporating greater functionality and simplicity of use."

CAD/CAM specialist OPEN MIND develops its software in-house. "Only with this philosophy can we ensure the maximum possible benefits to our customers and provide the whole process chain from CAD to CAM, and to client-specific post processors to bring the NC programs to the machine tools," Nesenhoner says. "Everything is absolutely synchronised and this is something unique in the marketplace." 

With a passionate research and development team in Munich, the company leads in development areas such as five-axis technology. Such innovations have benefited more than 9,000 clients worldwide from segments such as automotive, aerospace, energy, production machining, mould and die, and medical.

OPEN MIND complements its technology with excellent after-sales service worldwide. Its offices in Asia-Pacific cover countries such as Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, South Korea, India, Malaysia, Indonesia and Australia. In China, where the company has a long-standing presence, all its more than 20 employees are locals. This "glocal" strategy ensures strong personal support on a local level.

"China is our growth market, which is No 1 in the Asia-Pacific region," Nesenhoner says. "Therefore, we will continue to concentrate on building a robust team to ensure a stable growth and take the next steps to reach our goals."
