We reviewed the Fishhead part. We are going to divide the plan into four 
processes:

1. Stock Preparation. 2. Roughing. 3. Finishing. 4. Inspection.

We are able to include AP242 tolerances on the part and will increase 
the range of tolerances to be tested to make sure there are no issues. 
We are going to change the fixture to show the four clamps and will 
export all the tolerance data in mm's.

DMG and Mazak have both responded positively so the the list of 
potential participants in now DMG, Hyundai, Makino, Mazak and Okuma.

We reviewed the roadmap. There was discussion about the best title with 
"Smart Machining Roadmap" and "Industry 4.0 Machining Roadmap" being 
suggested as alternatives to "Digital Twin Manufacturing Roadmap".  
"Smart Machining Roadmap" might help us harmonize with the Smart 
manufacturing initiatives at NIST, and in the UK 
(https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/655570/20171027_MadeSmarter_FINAL_DIGITAL.pdf.) 
"Industry 4.0 Machining Roadmap" might help us harmonize with Industry 
4.0 and increase the interest in our work in Germany and the rest of the 
world.

Adopting a single common name will help us achieve better recognition if 
what we are doing fits in with the goals and directions of the bigger 
brand name.  Within our smaller context, Digital Twinning and the 
Digital Thread are the unique contributions we are delivering and wish 
to show at IMTS 2018 and JIMTOF 2018. The as-edited roadmap is attached 
and shown below - further suggestions and comments are encouraged.



The next conference call will be on Wednesday January 17.
