True to EMO 2017’s theme ‘Networked systems for intelligent production’, CAM/CAD manufacturer Open Mind is debuting hyperMILL Virtual Machining, a key component for implementing digital production systems. The simulation solution creates a perfect virtual rendering of reality in the machine based on NC data. Built with Industry 4.0 in mind, the tool generates a bi-directional communication link between the machine control and the hyperMILL Virtual Machining Center, thus delivering a new level of process control and optimisation.
