[step-manufacturing] Conference Call #12 this Wednesday

[Martin Hardwick]

All,

The regular conference call is at the regular times this Wednesday. The 
proposed agenda is as follows.

1. Data status

ftp://ftp.steptools.com/private/NIST/Boxy_Part_3-Axis_Machining_8_Setups_v4.238

This data set has 8 setups, half inch tooling and the cross section 
parameters set. The basic optimization algorithm makes the machining 6% 
faster.

2. Machining status

What more is needed before we can begin the tool wear tests.

3. Review of the Machine tool model

The first of three reviews on inputs to the second edition of AP-238 
(HiPP model to follow in next call).

4. Review Schedule

March 03    - Tool and material selection
March 17    - Verification of Boxy with 1/2 inch tooling
March 31    - Test run of feed/speed optimization algorithms
April 14      - Participants complete dry runs
April 28      - Participants machine in wax
May 12      - Test run of tool wear measurement algorithms
May 26      - First round of on machine testing
June 9        - Finalize program for the NIST meeting and demonstration
