The cutting tools have arrived at Boeing and CCAT. Boeing will 
machine a part in foam and test the measuring procedure using the 
Faro arm. The measurement results will be sent to STEP Tools for 
evaluation in the STEP-NC Explorer. Corrected tool paths will be 
generated using Concepts NREC and converted to Fanuc codes so that 
Boeing can correct its machining and measure the part again.

The DMG machine has arrived at CCAT

The cutting tool data is ready so the cross section parameters for 
feed/speed optimization will be generated by the Boeing and added to 
the AP-238 data by STEP Tools.

There are 25 people from 10 organizations registered for the meeting 
with one more week left to register.

The next conference call will be held on Wednesday September 24.
