OPEN MIND at ILA 2026 in Berlin
hyperMILL® CAD/CAM solution for the aerospace industry
26.05.2026 — OPEN MIND Technologies AG will be making its exhibition debut at the ILA show in Berlin. At Booth 411 in Hall A, OPEN MIND will showcase what the hyperMILL® CAD/CAM suite has to offer the aerospace industry. OPEN MIND will demonstrate how modern CAD/CAM technology supports the efficient, precise manufacturing of complex aerospace components and integrates seamlessly into secure processes. Components such as a shrouded impeller and a propeller hub will be displayed at the booth.
The aerospace industry places the highest demands on machining with complex geometries and strict quality specifications. Whether engine and landing gear components, structural parts, eVTOL components, or parts for rocket construction, such as thrust frames, connecting elements, tank and structural parts, the tasks are diverse. At ILA, OPEN MIND will demonstrate how hyperMILL® can support manufacturers with unique 5-axis strategies, powerful turning and milling strategies, and specialized solution packages for blisks and impellers, enabling them to reliably program and manufacture even the most demanding components. Challenges posed by additive and hybrid manufacturing can also be overcome with hyperMILL®.
Thin-walled structural components place the highest demands on programming and machining, as well as requiring maximum precision in terms of dimensional accuracy and surface quality.
Powerful hyperMILL® milling and turning strategies ensure maximum process reliability, even with materials that are difficult to machine.
Efficiency and Control
For difficult-to-machine materials such as titanium, Inconel, superalloys, and fiber-reinforced composites, hyperMILL® can reduce tool wear through optimized high-performance cutting (HPC) strategies. “With hyperMILL®, we address many typical technical challenges in the industry, but companies new to the sector are also confronted with the extremely high safety and documentation standards of the aerospace industry. hyperMILL® is perfectly suited for this. It can be seamlessly integrated into AS9100/EN9100-compliant processes,” explains Dirk Lehmann, Team Leader Sales North at OPEN MIND Technologies AG. An important aspect of quality management here is, for example, the NC code-based pre-simulation of machining processes with hyperMILL® VIRTUAL Machining.
With the HPC strategies in hyperMILL®, landing gear components made of high-strength titanium can be manufactured reliably.
Well-connected and established
Although this is OPEN MIND’s first time at ILA, the company is by no means a newcomer to the industry. It maintains close ties with the international aerospace research community and collaborates with renowned research institutes worldwide. These partnerships ensure access to the latest manufacturing methods. In addition, OPEN MIND maintains close partnerships with leading machine and cutting tool manufacturers to optimally tailor machining strategies to the material, tool, and machine. This results in consistently validated processes for the highest precision, maximum efficiency, and reliable process reliability.
Already on Mission
Globally renowned aerospace companies already rely on hyperMILL® and successfully use the software in safety-critical manufacturing environments. hyperMILL® is also part of real-world missions in the space sector: components manufactured with hyperMILL® are successfully in use in space, including in communication satellites.
