hyperMILL (OPEN MIND): sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

hyperMILL is a CAD/CAM software package from OPEN MIND Technologies AG for milling and turning. It offers 2.5D, 3D and five-axis milling strategies for programming CNC machines, with a built-in CAD environment. The vendor also provides a customer portal and CONNECTED Machining, a service for connected machining. It is aimed at companies that machine complex parts on CNC equipment.

OPEN MIND Technologies AG has its head office in Wessling near Munich, Germany, and its registered seat is Munich. The vendor describes itself as a Mensch und Maschine company. For a European organisation this means a developer and owner inside the EU, and the sources name no foreign parent. The privacy statement is written under the GDPR and names a data protection officer. It does not say where customer data is hosted, while web analytics and some service providers process data in the United States, so that point should be confirmed in the contract.
