OPEN MIND is experiencing strong demand for its hyperMILL CAD/CAM suite from suppliers to the semiconductor industry. The industry is known for its very high-quality requirements with high-mix, low-volume production. Users therefore rely on innovative high-end solutions for reliable generation and simulation of NC programs. Plant designers, special machinery builders, and their specialized manufacturers stress to OPEN MIND that high-precision surfaces, programming automations, and reliable postprocessor technology are the key decisive factors for choosing hyperMILL. Internationally active companies in the semiconductor industry have been relying on the CAD/CAM technologies of hyperMILL for some time now. Examples of this positive and trusting cooperation can be found on the OPEN MIND website: BKB Precision, AAE, NDK Paragon, and RE Thompson are just a small selection of the software developer’s customers that are suppliers to the semiconductor industry. The machines and devices used in modern chip manufacturing can be divided into three main categories: wafer production, assembly equipment, and testing equipment. The enormous variety of parts ranges from prototype construction to small series and series production. Components such as vacuum chambers, wafer handling components, or distributors made of special plastic place the most varied demands on the CAM system in terms of material and geometry diversity. Being able to act with maximum flexibility, but at the same time reliably in production, is enormously important for many manufacturers in the industry.
