Open Mind HyperMill – 5 Axis CAD/CAM Software Suite
both simple and complex geometries can be programmed efficiently. Workpieces can be completely machined in a single setup thanks to the broad range of machining strategies. The advantages: continuous and more efficient processes, reduced processing times and higher reliability. In addition, hyperMILL® offers several options for automated programming, reducing machine cycle times and optimising processes. Examples of this include sophisticated feature and macro technology, automated functions such as mirroring and transforming, functions that minimise auxiliary processing times such as job linking or production mode, and fully automated collision checking and avoidance. Full programming carried out against customer supplied or in-house generated models.

- BESPOKE ERP / MRP MANAGEMENT SYSTEMUsing software designed by ourselves, this is the engine to running the entirety of our business. From quotations and interacting with suppliers via our own portals, all the way through to customer statements and everything in between. We monitor KPI’s regularly as part of our day to day quality management. Informake will keep a full history and log of any part made in our workshops and maintain thorough traceability throughout. Historic job data will be kept for up to 20 years by default.The traceability functions of the system were a major part in our gaining the quality approvals we now hold. As the system is designed and written by us, we are able to add any functionality as customers or every changing standards demand. This always keeps us at the forefront of IT systems within our business.We have Remote Access to all of our machinery for diagnostics while running unmanned overnight. This enables operators to login to machine tools from home and check the job is still running and if not diagnose a possible fault without having to return to the factory.CNF utilises a fast internet connection with ability to receive CAD files in the majority of formats by email or by way of our own FTP server.
