Happy New Year everybody,<br><br>
Over the break we were able to extend the STEP-NC software so that it
simulates the machining of the impeller, fishhead and CDS parts on the
KTH machine tool.<br><br>
There are a number of issues that need to be discussed including how to
place the part and how to define the overall assembly length of the tool.
<br><br>
These will be documented in the status update notes that will be released
in time for the telcon on Wednesday. <br><br>
In the mean time those who have the STEP-NC Explorer can try the new
software by loading the latest msi at the following URL. Test data is in
the same directory.<br><br>
