We discussed the CAM Tooling pilot. The work will progress in two 
stages. The first stage will demonstrate feasibility by getting the tool 
vendors to make tool and process selections for a production on a 
non-production machine in a lab. The second phase will make tool and 
process selections for production parts on production machines at the 
Boeing Auburn plant.

with Boeing. Please contact us if you would like to be one of the 
participants so that we can include your name in the agreement list.

Work will begin on planning a project scope and schedule so that it can
