We reviewed the new HardMoldy data. We identifies issues with respect to 
the Boeing process data, and the depth of cut for a profile in the 
Sandvik data. The Iscar data has become faster because it is using 
better Mastercam algorithms.

We learned that a new Catia translator is becoming available that 
includes semantic tolerance data. We agreed that Okuma will supply a 
STEP model of their fixture and we identified an issue in the machine 
tool kinematics for the Genos m560.

We agreed that the process requirement data belongs on the workplan and 
should be added to the HardMoldy data because it shows the requirements 
that are being met by the process optimization.

We briefly discussed how to relate the run time process parameter data 
for the control available in the Thinc API to the STEP-NC data shown in 
the STEP-NC Explorer and will explore this interfacing in greater depth 
in the next conference call.

We will hire a conference room for each day of IMTS so that we can 
explain the demonstration in greater detail. We are working on creating 
pre-show publicity material.

A recording of the call is on the ftp site.

The next conference call will be held at the regular times on Wednesday 
May 11th

Action Items
-----------------
1. Boeing to prepare a new version of HardMoldy with the semantic 
tolerance data
2. STEP Tools to correct the machine tool kinematics for the Genos M560
3. Okuma to prepare a STEP model for their fixture.
4. Iscar to prepare ISO 13399 assembly data for their cutting tools
