Open Mind Technologies, a developer of CAD/CAM software solutions worldwide, will highlight the latest advanced capabilities of its hyperMILL CAD/CAM software suite at Grob Systems' 5-Axis Live! technology event in Bluffton, Ohio, on Aug. 22 from 8:45 a.m. to 4 p.m. Open Mind is an event Gold Sponsor, exhibitor and speaker.
At 2:30 p.m. (ET) during the 5-AXIS LIVE! Technology Event, OPEN MIND Technologies USA Managing Director Alan Levine will present the breadth of hyperMILL innovations and technology. The hyperMILL CAD/CAM software suite offers users powerful and simplified NC programming in applications ranging from 2D to 5-axis milling. Integrated, advanced hyperMILL capabilities include automation, virtual machining, additive/ hybrid manufacturing, turning and more.
The special one-day 5-AXIS LIVE! event will include informative seminars and live 5-axis machining demonstrations by GROB and nineteen of its industry partners highlighting new machining strategies for optimizing the production of complex medical, aerospace and mold and die parts. The event is complimentary and manufacturing professionals are encouraged to attend. For more details and to register, click here.

- gang cutting ( milling)
gang cutting ( milling)
Machining with several cutters mounted on a single arbor, generally for simultaneous cutting.
- milling
milling
Machining operation in which metal or other material is removed by applying power to a rotating cutter. In vertical milling, the cutting tool is mounted vertically on the spindle. In horizontal milling, the cutting tool is mounted horizontally, either directly on the spindle or on an arbor. Horizontal milling is further broken down into conventional milling, where the cutter rotates opposite the direction of feed, or “up” into the workpiece; and climb milling, where the cutter rotates in the direction of feed, or “down” into the workpiece. Milling operations include plane or surface milling, endmilling, facemilling, angle milling, form milling and profiling.
- numerical control ( NC)
numerical control ( NC)
Any controlled equipment that allows an operator to program its movement by entering a series of coded numbers and symbols. See CNC, computer numerical control; DNC, direct numerical control.
- turning
turning
Workpiece is held in a chuck, mounted on a face plate or secured between centers and rotated while a cutting tool, normally a single-point tool, is fed into it along its periphery or across its end or face. Takes the form of straight turning (cutting along the periphery of the workpiece); taper turning (creating a taper); step turning (turning different-size diameters on the same work); chamfering (beveling an edge or shoulder); facing (cutting on an end); turning threads (usually external but can be internal); roughing (high-volume metal removal); and finishing (final light cuts). Performed on lathes, turning centers, chucking machines, automatic screw machines and similar machines.
