DAISHIN SEIKI CORPORATION and OPEN MIND Technologies have enjoyed a fruitful relationship for 15 years, working together to solve machining challenges. A motorcycle helmet programmed and milled by DAISHIN acts as OPEN MIND’s central image motif in its marketing materials (key visual). The helmet was a demonstration of the Japanese contract manufacturer’s expertise in using the 5-axis technologies that the hyperMILL CAD/CAM suite can offer. This year, the motorcycle helmet – which has now become a YouTube celebrity in its own right with more than 5.2 million views – is being redesigned. The helmet will continue to be the reference component people associate with hyperMILL. “CEO of DAISHIN SEIKI CORPORATION Ryosuke Omachi’s ingenious idea to mill a motorcycle helmet from a solid to demonstrate his company’s 5-axis machining expertise has been attracting tech-savvy visitors to our booths for years. They even have their picture taken with the YouTube star,” reveals Volker Nesenhöner, CEO of OPEN MIND Technologies AG. “We are delighted to be able to use this and other demonstration parts from DAISHIN, and our marketing team has now given this famous eye-catcher a modern redesign to mark our 15-year collaboration. DAISHIN is a true power user and our development department is greatly appreciative of the valuable feedback this customer provides.”
