Your machines are waiting.
We program.
Production-ready NC programs with hyperMILL® – for 2.5D, 3D, 5-axis simultaneous and mill-turn. Simulated, documented and matched to your machine. Remote or right at your shop.
- Quote within [24 h]
- Collision-checked simulation
- NDA on request
From 3D model to running program
We take over your NC programming entirely or step in wherever you lack in-house capacity – project by project, with no ramp-up time and no extra license on your side.
CAM programming
2.5D, 3D, 5-axis simultaneous and mill-turn – ready-to-run NC programs for your machine when you are short on in-house capacity.

An idle 5-axis machine costs money every hour. We close the gap between incoming orders and the machine – flexibly and without adding headcount.
How a job works- Programming bottleneckOrder peaks, vacations or sick leave – we step in at short notice.
- New machine, new possibilitiesWe bring 5-axis and mill-turn know-how while your team gets up to speed.
- Complex one-offsFreeform surfaces, tight tolerances, multiple setups: we program the tough jobs.
- Process reliabilityEvery program is simulated and delivered with a setup sheet.

Why hyperMILL®?
hyperMILL® by OPEN MIND Technologies is a CAD/CAM solution that combines 2.5D, 3D, 5-axis and mill-turn machining in one interface – with a single post processor for milling and turning and simulation based on the NC code. For you, that means fewer interfaces and fewer surprises at the machine.
More about hyperMILL®How much does outsourced CAM programming cost?
The price depends on part geometry, number of axes, tolerances and setups. Once we have reviewed your 3D model and drawing, you receive a fixed price per program or – for ongoing support – an hourly rate. You will usually have a quote within [24 hours].
What data do you need for an NC program?
Ideally: a 3D model (e.g. STEP, Parasolid, IGES or native CAD formats), a drawing with tolerances and surface specifications, stock and workholding, the machine and control, and your tool list. If anything is missing, we will sort it out with you.
Do I need my own hyperMILL® license?
No. You receive finished, simulated NC programs for your machine. All that is required is a suitable post processor for your machine and control – we check this before the first job. If you use hyperMILL® yourself, you also get the project file to keep working with.
Which machines and controls do you program for?
For 3-axis, 5-axis and mill-turn machines from the major manufacturers. Experience covers in particular [e.g. Heidenhain TNC, Siemens Sinumerik, Fanuc – please confirm]. The key factor is a matched post processor.
