Following exponential sales growth over the last three years, OPEN MIND Technologies UK has now expanded its operation with new staff, an expanded training room and increased office space.
In the last two months, the CAM developer has expanded its training facility to allow over 10 customers to undertake training at any one time. This follows the re-development of the Bicester company’s headquarters to expand the seminar theatre, increase its office space and refurbish the facility as well as extending the seminar theatre and adding a meeting room for customer support.
Through 2016 the leading hyperMILL CAM package exceeded all previous sales records and importantly hyperMILL noted an 150% increase in enquiry levels from major UK manufacturing exhibitions. The CAM system combines ease-of-use and an intuitive configuration with continually evolving innovative performance package enhancements such as MAXX Machining. Through 2017, the innovation is set to continue with the recent launch of Version 2017.1 and the imminent launch of hyperMILL Version 2017.2.
Commenting upon the exponential explosion of interest in hyperMILL, OPEN MIND Technologies UK Managing Director, Mr Adrian Smith says: “hyperMILL has long been acknowledged as the leading CAM system for quickly and efficiently programming complex 5-axis components with groundbreaking toolpaths and strategies that have led the industry. This has enabled OPEN MIND to be the package of choice for the F1 teams and the motorsport supply chain, a sector renowned for complex parts with fast turnaround times. More recently we have taken this expertise to the aerospace, automotive and medical industries with phenomenal success.”
“As well as targeting these sectors, OPEN MIND has evolved recent versions of hyperMILL to provide an intuitive entry level system for businesses that are new to CAM software. Having an entry point for manufacturers with everything from simple 3-axis machining through to complex 5-axis requirements is enabling us to extend our reach in the marketplace. Meeting the needs of the entire manufacturing industry through a modular CAM package is why the company has extended its office space and started a program of growing the team to support our ongoing success.”
