The customised process feature, or CPF, is a special feature technology built into the hyperMILL CAM system. CPFs allow companies to define individual corporate standards for automated programming. Possible applications extend far beyond conventional features. OPEN MIND Technologies AG has enhanced the 2011 version of its CAM software, hyperMILL, adding an expanded and improved feature technology.

Successful high-feed milling is characterized as using small depths of cut at high federates per tooth, with the result being higher metal-removal rates and increased productivity. As opposed to traditional milling, high-feed milling generates lower radial cutting forces, making it an attractive concept for roughing, copy milling, profile milling, and other applications necessitating quick removal of metal, even where longer reach is required. WIDIA is introducing two new insert families specifically designed for successful high-feed milling: the M270 Series and M370 Series.

Corrosion is the enemy to metal parts manufacturers, increasing rework costs, causing equipment to fail, and rendering parts unsalable. Houghton International's Rust Veto 4295 can stop all of that.
