Category 	Item 	Description 	Date 	Party 	
	Resolution
Setup 	Stock specifications 	Need stock dimensions and tolerances 
8/20/2016 	Boeing 	
	New dimensions sent
Setup 	Workpiece location 	Need work offset location relative to stock 
features that we can measure 	8/20/2016 	STEP 	
	Rotate x and y (x should be along the slots)
Cutting tools 	Missing cutters 	We don't have two of the cutters 
8/20/2016 	Entry drill 	Change process to helical entry for pockets. Use 
3/16 inch (-.1mm - .3m)tool for drilled holes
Web interface 	Axis system display 	Helpful to have frame directions 
displayed on screen 	8/20/2016 	STEP 	
	Use axis system of the machine
Web interface 	Workpiece frame location 	Helpful to have workpiece frame 
system displayed on screen 	8/20/2016 	
	
	Chris to send an example
Web interface 	Identify datum features 	Nice to be able to be able to 
visually identify datum features.Like in STEP-NC Explorer. 	8/20/2016 
Done 	
	See tolerances tab
NC program 	No coolant commands 	Program does not turn coolant on/off 
8/20/2016 	PSU or STEP? 	Will try altering generation logic to trun 
coolant on after starting the workingstep
NC program 	Slow -Z feed during setup 1 	During facing, the down move 
after traverse across the part is very slow 	8/20/2016 	PSU 	
	Fixed in new version
Setup 	Interefence on Setup 2 	The support parallel on the bottom of the 
part in interfering with the un-cut surface of the part 	8/20/2016 	
STEP

	
	Fixed in new version
NC program 	Notes for operator 	Add notes in the program to let the 
operator know what is going on 	8/20/2016 	STEP 	
	Wrong export was used. Fixed in new version
NC program 	Conventional milling 	Is there a reason program does not use 
climb cutting? 	8/20/2016 	PSU 	
	Bug being fixed by PSU
Cutting tools 	Long 10mm tool 	Is long length required in later 
operations? 	8/20/2016 	Yes 	
	See deep pockets of setups 6 and 7
Cutting tools 	Short flute length 	Is there a reason a longer flute 
length was not used when cutting sides? 	8/20/2016 	Sandvik 	
	We think we are using 4.9mm of the 5mm
Video 	Camera position not optimal 	Camera needs to be higher to prevent 
coolant from blocking view 	8/20/2016 	Boeing 	
	See video
Setup 	Used Al 	Used aluminum 85x85x85mm block rather than Ti.We 
discovered Ti block dimensions were not very close to the 
specifications.Ti blocks were oversized by 2 to 3 mm. 	8/20/2016 	
	
	Will program feeds for full engagement and use optimizer to increase 
speed when engagement is smaller
Rough & Finish 	Strategies are mixed 	Roughing and finishing are mixed 
in same step and last pass did not cut metal 	8/20/2016 	PSU 	
	May not be ready for the demo
Project data 	UI needs to include basic info 	End user needs to know 
what file was used to make this data 	8/23/2016 	STEP 	
	Make file name explicit in the UI
