We agreed on a schedule for the CAM-Tooling pilot that will complete the 
machining tests in October. We agreed that the test part should be 
Moldy. We agreed that the part should be machined from Titanium 6AL4V. 
We agreed to add pockets and chamfers to make the part typical of more 
machining tasks.

We agreed on a set of extensions to the Catia STEP-NC translator to 
enable the exchange of the optimizations determined by the tool vendors 
with Boeing.

We agreed on the set of steps necessary to repeat the pilot for a 
production part in the Fall.

We agreed that the target for the optimization should be a 15% 
improvement in the process.

We discussed the Made-to-Measure pilot and agreed that there is a new 
opportunity to work with the new generation of meteorology systems that 
can measure parts in-situ. We discussed a scenario in which the surfaces 
that need to be measured are sent to the meteorology systems as STL 
files, and returned as a measured facets, which are then used to modify 
the path of the contour to be machined.

We agreed to have further discussions with the meteorology vendors.

We discussed the Machining-Simulation pilot but were unable to agree on 
any short term goals.
