The next conference call will be this Wednesday February 20th at
7:00AM Pacific, 10:00AM Eastern, 3:00PM UK, 4:00PM Paris and 5:00PM
Israel.<br>
<br>
The proposed agenda is as follows:<br>
<br>
1. Business case for STEP-NC Implementation by CAM vendors<br>
<br>
At the OMAC meeting last week we drafted three white papers
describing the STEP-NC business case for CAM vendors<br>
<br>
a. New Bidding Opportunities for Small and Medium Enterprises
(SME's) - An SME can respond to requests for bids more quickly and
accurately when their CAM system has an integrated STEP-NC
interface.<br>
b. Easier CAM System Migration - A customer using a legacy CAM
system with technical and business challenges can intelligently
migrate to a more modern and functional solution using STEP-NC.<br>
c. More Shop Floor Automation - New shop floor applications can
integrate metrology and other sensor system data into a, standard,
industry wide STEP-NC model and avoid the complexities and
inaccuracies caused by post processors.<br>
<br>
2. Review web site and agenda for face to face meeting, hotel
recommendation, food selections etc.<br>

<br>
3. Assembly models for manufacturing<br>
<br>
New and old issues with respect to the modeling of assemblies for
manufacturing and how to model the special constraints that may
apply to one instance of a seal in a wheel assembly, or one fastener
in an airframe assembly.<br>
