We discussed the machining demonstration. A new version of the Sandvik 
process is now ready for testing, but the Boeing operator is currently 
on vacation. We scheduled the machining for Friday April 4th. When we 
have parts machined using the three processes we will arrange to meet 
with the principal machine tool vendors to discuss their requirements 
for an IMTS demonstration.

We discussed web visualization. A fast version of our web demos has been 
produced by the DARPA AVM team at Vanderbilt. We hope to update these 
demos to include machining kinematics and machining simulation.
