Open Mind becomes Tier 1 member at the AMRC

The research facility has invited Open Mind to enhance its membership status following a number of successful collaborative projects that have been undertaken during Open Mind’s four year tenure as an AMRC Tier 2 member.

Commenting upon the new membership status, Open Mind Technologies technical sales manager, Matthew Coulson said: "We have committed considerable resources to the AMRC in terms of the three seats of our hyperMILL software and one day a week technical support. This resource commitment will be of benefit to ourselves, as well as the AMRC, as we are already working on cutting-edge projects with some of the aerospace OEMs. Committing our effort to these OEMs could potentially lead to Open Mind Technologies supplying hyperMILL CAM software to some of the largest aerospace manufacturers in the world."

Open Mind has already been involved in benchmarking trials to measure toolpath capability and optimisation of CAM systems through hyperMILL against CNC control units. Other on-going projects include the development of new CAM strategies and feature enhancements to deliver productivity benefits to different aerospace manufacturers whilst other programs are evolving around the utilisation of extremely complex multi-function cutting tools that demand specialist CAM support.

Mr Coulson continued: "The technical staff and academics at the AMRC are the world leaders in the aerospace industry and they are driving tomorrow's technology in this multi-billion pound industry. At this upper echelon of manufacturing, we are being challenged every week to work with the most cutting-edge technology. Being able to participate in this work with hyperMILL CAM solutions is an exciting challenge."
