Open Mind TechnologiesAG, has announced that together with SoftIn- Way Inc., it will be holding a “Tur- bomachinery Made Easy” Seminar on Thursday, March 28, 2019 from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at DMGMori – 5740 Warland Drive, Cypress, CA. With greater demands on turbomachinery to be designed and manufactured to superior tolerances and meet increas- ingly tight deadlines, the necessity for a seamless workflow from design to manufacture has become a vital requirement throughout a variety of industries. OPEN MIND and SoftInWay, both leaders in turbomachinery design and manufacturing applications, will of- fer an integrated end-to-end solution from concept to finished product at the seminar. OPENMIND’s hyperMILL® CAM software and SoftInWay’s Ax- STREAM® CAE software provides companies worldwide with the re- sources to achieve an integrated and effective workflow from preliminary design to optimized cutting strategies for efficient manufacturing. During the Seminar, OPEN MIND will present the programming of a centrifugal impeller and axial turbine blade, and SoftInWay will show the designing of these parts. The Seminar will also include a tour of the DMG Mori showroom. Manufacturing pro- fessionals are welcome and encour- aged to attend. Industry News
