The new hyperMILL V9.7 from OPEN MIND, offering CAD integration with SolidWorks, was released in October 2007. And now, hyperMILL has successfully completed and passed the certification process. SolidWorks Corporation, developer of the popular SolidWorks CAD product has certified the integration of OPEN MIND’s complete solution and has designated hyperMILL as a ‘Certified Gold Product’. This is SolidWorks’ highest award based on outstanding integration, quality and interoperability.

To receive the ‘Certified Gold Product’ award, the partner product must go through a multilevel certification process. The requirements include full integration of the software user interface within SolidWorks and associative database linking of the geometric data of SolidWorks. In addition, SolidWorks’ reference customers must be able to use the software product effectively. In-house product tests are also conducted at SolidWorks to determine whether the high requirements are fulfilled.
