Here are some status slides for this weeks conference call on Wednesday.
There are two technical issues to be discussed on how to define the gauge
line for the cutting tools and how to define a tool reference direction
for non-rotating tools. Plus there is a contribution from Alain Brail
(Airbus retired) describing a data architecture/work flow for the
demonstrations.<br><br>
