At a partner event with Emuge-Franken, OPEN MIND has a crazy part running on the machine. How did they even get it started?

“You’ve got to have a one-for-one digital environment versus what reality is.”

MTDCNC’s Arthur Field sits down with Brad Rooks of OPEN MIND to show how hyperMILL’s Virtual Machine changes everything: the actual G-code is posted and verified before it ever hits the shop floor. Every axis, tool, fixture, and limit is mapped one-for-one, with safeguards that stop the program if anything doesn’t match reality.

That means protected machines, zero surprises, and total confidence before cycle start!
