SolidWorks® Direct Interface for hyperMILL® and hyperFACT®
OPEN MIND Technologies AG and TTF are extending their partnership. One of the fruits of this collaboration is that OPEN MIND Technologies AG will soon be providing a direct interface for SolidWorks.
OPEN MIND Technologies AG und TTF already entered into a collaborative agreement last year. The object of their collaboration is to integrate TTF's CAD libraries into OPEN MIND's CAM products hyperMILL® and hyperFACT® so that native CAD data from leading CAD systems can be read by these directly. OPEN MIND Technologies AG is already offering similar interfaces for Catia V4®/V5®, Parasolid, Unigraphics and Pro/ENGINEER®. The new direct interface will be added soon - the SolidWorks interface is scheduled for release in Q4 2004.
"Our direct interfaces provide our customers with a reliable and efficient data exchange. CAD data integrates into the CAM system seamlessly. OPEN MIND Technologies' interface philosophy is an important building block in facilitating homogeneous processes. We are the only ones in the market to be implementing such an approach consistently and consequently," says Volker Nesenhöner, Vice President of OPEN MIND Technologies AG.
TTF is a leading company in CAD data exchange. Based in Lyon (France), TTF designs and distributes solutions for CAD model interoperability (native converters with history trees) and digital mock-ups (Project ReviewerTM for visualization, product testing and digital mock-ups). With solutions for the automotive, aviation and mechanical engineering industries and the consumer goods sector, TTF is providing services such as installation, maintenance, training and customization on a global scale.
