Do You Panic When You’re Machining Like This? 
That panic… you know the feeling. You’re watching the machine, hands hovering near the feed hold…
You’re watching the machine, hands hovering near the feed hold button. Will the tool hold up? Is the path safe? Did I miss something in the program?
If you’re relying on blind trust, you’re not alone—but there’s a better way. With Virtual Machine from OPEN MIND, that uncertainty disappears.
This clip shows what so many machinists and programmers face every day: What you can’t see, you don’t know. But when you use Virtual Machine, you do know.
Because what you’re seeing on screen…Is exactly what your machine is going to do in real life.
Virtual Machine is part of the powerful hyperMILL® CAM software suite from OPEN MIND Technologies.
It’s not just a toolpath viewer or basic simulation.
It’s a true NC code-based simulation system—designed to show the exact behavior of your machine, using the actual G-code that will run on your controller.
When you’re running tight tolerances, complex geometries, and expensive setups, you can’t afford surprises.
Virtual Machine eliminates the guesswork by giving you complete visibility—before a single chip is made.
With Virtual Machine, you go from “I think this will work…”
To “I know this will work.”
