The average Virtual Machine Optimizer consists of software designed to work with and improve the functionality of existing manufacturing technology. Such a system is put in place to gather data, and uses it to pinpoint areas of concern in order to improve these areas and eventually fix them. In some cases, these systems can also use simulation to better perform their duties. Recently, Open Mind Technologies AG added to the Virtual Machine Optimizing world by creating and launching their latest version of the company’s hyperMILL CAD/CAM software suite, intended for 4.0 industry use. In doing so, Open Mind has upped the Virtual Machine Optimizing game considerably. Some of the game-changing features of the newest Open Mind Virtual Machine Optimizing software suite include, the ability to automate the establishing of duty lists, an ability to develop filling strategies for an array of freeform shapes, including 2D and @D forms, while also supporting 3-D printing, and what may be the most useful aspect of all. The system also making use of an included hybrid machining application, designed to fix damaged parts.
Key Takeaways:
- It’s normal protocol for virtual machining optimizers to be able to simulate certain conditions and thereby identify errors.
- Open Mind Technologies AG has now created and launched their newest version of the hyperMILL CAD/CAM software suite.
- Besides the usual optimizer goodies, this software suite can also support 3-D printing and subtractive machining.
“A new Automation Center allows users to automate job list creation in hyperCAD-S, serving as both a development and runtime environment. Features include the ability to select and position the clamping device as well as define a uniform process for all programmers.”
