<br>
These generic models are now being refined for machining. The plan
is for Boeing to work with Dassault to complete a v6 model, Siemens
to work with Sanvik to complete an NX model and for the Army to work
with STEP Tools to complete a Mastercam model.<br>
<br>
STEP Tools has published the code for a STEP-NC library for
ST-Developer. The code has been used to implement a STEP-NC
translator for Mastercam. It is being tested by NIST and is
available to any ST-Developer licensee.<br>
