Our next demonstration will be held from May 13-15 at a Boeing facility
in Seattle. This is the same week as the ISO STEP meeting on Vancouver
Island in Canada and the demonstration has been arranged so that those
who wish can go to the ISO meeting at the start of the week and the
demonstration at the end of the week.<br><br>
Our first conference call is on Wednesday (October 15) and the goal for
the call is to begin selecting the test parts and technical targets for
the new demonstration. The following ideas were discussed at
CCAT.<br><br>
1. Machine a mold part.<br>
2. Direct export of STEP-NC from CATIA.<br>
3. Test speed-feed optimization of plunge milling.<br>
4. Test integrated machining and measurement using Curve_probing.<br>
5. Test integrated data exchange of ISO 13399 cutting tool models and
AP-238 machining models.<br>
6. Develop and test one or more machine tool models using the University
of Bath machine tool kinematics model and/or the ASME machine tool
model.<br>
7. Test automotive and/or heavy equipment machining of parts with
multiple set-ups and complex instructions.<br>
8. Test import of AP-203 e2 presentation information.<br><br>
Please join us if you are interested in participating in this round of
STEP-NC testing. The GoTo meeting and conference call in numbers are
