Mitutoyo and Renishaw have developed new technology for probing 
surfaces that we will apply to the impeller. Sandvik will send an 
Impeller to Mitutoyo for measurement.

STEP Tools has generated cutting tool contact area cross section 
parameters for the fishhead part that have a rough correlation to the 
parameters generated by Boeing using Vericut.  STEP Tools will 
generate cross section parameters for the simple KTH part and then 
for the Impeller part. A Vericut project needs to be generated for 
the KTH part.

There was a discussion on methods for correcting the tool paths after 
measurement. Nrec concepts has software that will correct tool paths 
using measurement data so an interface will be written to AP-238 
using the STEP-NC Explorer.

There was a discussion on the invitation and registration form for 
the meeting. They were considered to be ready for distribution.

Boeing is on track to begin machining a test part in foam at the end of July.

The next conference call will be on Wednesday July 2.


Action items
------------------
Bengt Olsson to send cutting tools and ISO 13399 data to Boeing.
Leon Xu to generate cross section parameters for the KTH and Impeller parts.
Peter Klein to determine data input format required for computing 
tool path deltas.
Larry Maggiano to measure the Sandvik impeller.
