MAX-PAC
Concepts NREC’s MAX-PAC™ family of CAM software provides optimal cutter-path solutions for turbomachinery components by offering users several cutting strategies that can reduce engineering costs as well as production costs. MAX-PAC is available in any combination of modules to suit part geometry requirements for flank milling of ruled-surface blading, point milling of arbitrary-surface blading, point milling of integrally shrouded impellers, or milling of single blades. MAX-PAC has long been recognized as the best CAM software for 5-axis milling of turbomachinery impellers, blisks, and rotors, and enjoys a strong worldwide reputation with manufacturers, job shops, and 5-axis machine-tool companies. Expertise built into these specialized tools incorporates methodologies protected by three separate patents. Compared to other CAM tools, MAX-PAC addresses only turbomachinery, and as a result, it is faster to learn, easier to use, and requires less programming and machining time.

NX CAM
Program any job using one software. NX CAM provides comprehensive and integrated NC programming capabilities in a single system. This enables the use of consistent 3D models, data and processes to seamlessly connect planning and shop floor operations with a digital thread. You can streamline and automate NC programming, while reducing cycle time, using powerful, application-specific tools. From 2.5-axis machining and mold manufacturing, to simultaneous 5-axis milling and high-volume production, NX allows you to use one CAM software to make better parts faster. Create precisely controlled 5-axis tool paths to effectively machine complex geometries. Using application-specific capabilities, you can dramatically reduce programming time and create smart, collision-free cutting operations. High-speed machining, automated rest milling, and smooth finishing methods help you produce molds and dies with a near-mirror finish, while reducing lead time.

hyperMILL
NC programmers use CAM software to create the control code for CNC machine tools. This ensures that a real component can be generated from a digital CAD model as an exact copy. CNC (Computerized Numerical Control) manufacturing technologies such as milling, turning and drilling are used to transform a digital model into a machined component. A CNC machine tool created the component from a stock model, cutters, and NC programs. Important business objectives are to produce components economically, accurately and on time. The strengths and advantages of a high-end CAM software application such as hyperMILL® from OPEN MIND become particularly apparent when complex components need to be manufactured. hyperMILL® NC users have access to a broad range of machining strategies, from 2.5D and 3D strategies and HPC solutions, to 5-axis machining and mill turning. Special applications for impellers and blisks, turbine blades, tube machining and tire machining round out the range of services.
