CAM/CAD manufacturer OPEN MIND Technologies AG has received official confirmation that its hyperMILL 2015.1 is fully compatible with Autodesk Inventor 2016. Data associativity allows the two programs to work together seamlessly and enables continuous workflows from design right through to CNC manufacturing.
As in previous releases, Autodesk Inc. has thoroughly tested and certified the interoperability of the programs. Users can progress from the design phase to the optimal machining strategy for their product directly from their familiar user interface. Thanks to the full associativity of the data in hyperMILL with the Autodesk design data, CAM operations are automatically updated if changes are made to the CAD model. Access to a shared database and the ability to start hyperMILL from within the CAD user interface increase efficiency and shorten processing times.
