Certified and seamlessly integrated in Autodesk® Inventor® 2009

Autodesk® certifies the compatibility of hyperMILL® with Autodesk® Inventor® 2009. The leading software provider also confirms that hyperMILL® provides full integration and data associativity with the newest version of its CAD suite. hyperMILL® offers Autodesk® Inventor® 2009 users the proven advantage of integrated processes with uniform data models and enhanced security and transparency throughout the entire production process. These features have now been officially certified by Autodesk®. Integration included adapting the user interface of the hyperMILL® CAM application to match the CAD interface of Autodesk®. Autodesk® 2009 users, as well as users of the 2008, 11 and 10 versions of Autodesk®, can thus continue to operate in the working environment they are familiar with. The rigorous certification process of Autodesk® also ensures the flawless and seamless integration of hyperMILL® with Inventor® 2009. Thanks to full associativity with Autodesk® construction data, it is now possible to have CAM operations automatically updated when changes are made to the CAD models. By accessing a single database and opening hyperMILL® in the CAD interface, software integration improves speed and efficiency, prevents errors and reduces the workload of the user.

For continuous processing.

hyperMILL® is used worldwide by companies in the mechanical engineering, automotive and aerospace industries as well as by tool and mould manufacturers. Users appreciate the versatile machining strategies, the user-friendliness and the intuitive graphics-based user interface, as well as the ease of programming. Integrated automated functions reduce programming complexity and help prevent incorrect data entry. By means of new feature technology, OPEN MIND has succeeded in reliably transferring geometric information from a design and converting it into hyperMILL®. Pre-existing machining know-how can thus be efficiently re-used, reducing programming complexity. Continuous processing thanks to CAD integration. Integrated processes with universal data models guarantee security and transparency in the production process. Familiar user interfaces reduce the potential for human error and increase acceptance amongst users. This is why hyperMILL® in Autodesk® Inventor® can offer Autodesk users a number of significant advantages. The CAD integrations of the hyperMILL® CAM software facilitate reliable and continuous processing that is on a par with single-system solutions. A uniform data model can be used throughout the entire process, from design through programming and up to the simulation stage. Both the CAD system and the CAM system access the same database. It is thus possible to do design work and calculations in parallel. With CAD integration, the “look and feel” of the CAM product fits in with the CAD interface and users of Autodesk® Inventor® continue to operate within a familiar working environment.
