All,

We have been able to make STEP-NC data containing the tooling 
optimizations made by both Sandvik and ISCAR.

The two new files are on the ftp site along with the original file made 
by Boeing

ftp://www.steptools.com/private/CAM_exchange/Cycle_2/ISCAR_HARDMOLDY.zip
ftp://www.steptools.com/private/CAM_exchange/Cycle_2/Sandvik_HARDMOLDY.zip

             // original

We asked the two vendors to make optimized data for the first pocketing 
operation (called "Pocketing 15 WS 25"). They responded by making 
Mastercam files.

In each ZIP file you will find the STEP-NC file exported by Mastercam 
(called "xyz"_export.p21) and the result of integrating that data into 
the full Hardy model as a replacement for operation 25.

All,

We have released the first test file for the cutting tool vendors.

As you can gather from the minutes of the last call there has been a 
delay.  We had more difficulty than expected in generating the 
in-process solids for operation 25 (machining of first pocket).

We believe there are a number of issues that need to be discussed. 
Therefore we are proposing to hold a workshop at the next OMAC meeting 
on February 14th in Orlando, Florida.

Our agenda for the conference call:

1. Discuss the in-process solids generated for the new part
2. Report back by the cutting tool vendors on their success in 
generating tooling solutions for these solids
3. Discussion of the goals of the in-process modeling workshop
