OPEN MIND at AMB 2026
Simulation in the hyperMILL® Virtual Machine
01.10.2026 — OPEN MIND witnessed an exceptionally positive appearance at AMB in Stuttgart. The booth was consistently well attended, and the hyperMILL® VIRTUAL Machining package, with its NC code-based simulation capability, attracted significant interest. Visitors were also keen to learn about the turning solutions and the wide range of automation functions offered by the CAD/CAM suite. The Hummingbird MES also drew a strong response, with numerous visitors requesting demonstrations and additional information.
hyperMILL® VIRTUAL Machining shows exactly what will happen on the machine. This becomes especially clear when we demonstrate it—and even more impressive when you understand that the simulation is based on the machine data and the actual NC code,” explains Ales Vurusic, Central Region Sales Team Leader at OPEN MIND Technologies AG. “Customers then realize that using digital twins of the entire machining process provides an unprecedented level of safety for both the workpiece and the machine.

Automated programming
Existing hyperMILL® users took the opportunity to learn about the automation options for CAM programming. Automating routine tasks is especially attractive for companies where work preparation becomes a bottleneck.
Although most visitors were primarily interested in generating NC code for milling, the workstation featuring hyperMILL® TURNING Solutions also attracted many visitors. The same was true of the Hummingbird Manufacturing Execution System presentation. One MES function particularly appealed to hyperMILL® users: centralized tool management.
The hyperMILL® feature packages and the Hummingbird MES provided plenty of topics for discussion.
