AI is changing CAM – but handing everything over to a black box isn’t the answer.
Ken Baldwin from OPEN MIND Technologies explains how concepts like direct programming in hyperMILL use AI to automate complex tasks while keeping the user firmly in control.
Instead of one-click guesswork, programmers can review, refine, and choose the most suitable toolpaths faster, smarter, and with confidence.
It’s a glimpse into a future where automation boosts productivity without replacing engineering judgement. Catch MTDCNC’s Paul Jones in conversation with Ken to see where AI in CAM is really heading.
