[step-manufacturing] HiPP slides and NZ machining results

[Martin Hardwick]

All,

The following has been added to the ftp site: 
ftp://www.steptools.com/private/Dallas/Meeting/

1. A set of slides describing the HiPP model. The slides compare what 
is in AP-238 for measurement and what is in DMIS, and divide the 
functionalities that can be included in HiPP into a set of desirable 
functionalities (33) and a set of possible functionalities (22).

Thanks very much to Tom Kramer of NIST for these excellent slides.

2. Videos and data sets for the machining preparation done in New 
Zealand using Pro/Engineer, AP-238 and a four axis machine.

With this data set we have the following testing 
participants:  Airbus, Sandvik, the University of Bordeaux, the 
University of Toulouse, the University of Auckland, NIST and Boeing.

They have used Caita, Mastercam, Siemens UGS, and Pro/Engineer to 
make the data. The parts have been machined using Fanuc, Siemens and 
Heidenhain controls. Siemens, Renishaw and M&H probes have been used 
for on machine measurement and a Zeiss CMM has been used for 
off-machine measurement.
