OPEN MIND's enhanced software aims to cross the 'goal line'

Much like professional hockey with its power, speed, and grace, so too were some of technologies, techniques, and even milled items showcased at the OPEN MIND Technologies booth at IMTS 2024. 

Among the draws of this busy booth was a hockey theme that showed how its hyperMILL software technology can help manufacturers produce perfect finishes such as a brilliantly finished ice skate on display. The theme continued with a hockey stick and goalie mask. The difference, of course, was that these hockey tools were made of metals.

SigmaNEST 24 Suite

SigmaNEST 24 Suite Connects CAD/CAM, Shop Floor and Business Systems
SigmaNEST 24 has expanded the Task Dialog to provide greater situational awareness to the NC programmer for handling multiple projects at one time. Within the Task Window, users can create and load jobs, access workspace task reports and apply new commands to multiple tasks. Users can also monitor key statistics such as sheet consumption and scrap percentages. Beta users have reported that the new Task Window cuts programming to a small fraction of the time needed to program each job individually.
