We saw a demonstration of a STEP-NC Conformance Class 1 interface
for Siemens NX. The system was able to translate toolpaths, process
data and workplan structure data into a STEP-NC file that was then
viewed using the STEP-NC Explorer.<br>
<br>
Siemens is making the new translator available for testing by NX
customers.<br>
<br>
We discussed the progress of the three translators and agreed that
it would be best to delay the face to face meeting until all three
are able to translate Conformance Class 2 data to STEP-NC because
this will mean that product models for the workpiece and tools are
incorporated into the data making them much easier to understand
when the import translators are written.<br>
<br>
A second benefit of delaying the meeting is that it will allow more
time for CCAM to prepare to machine the three parts being prepared
by Sandvik, Boeing and the Army. The proposed new meeting date is
June 24 and 25 at CCAM in Disputanta, Virginia.<br>
<br>
We previously decided to machine the part using 7075-T73 Aluminum
from a rawpiece with dimensions of <font face="sans-serif" size="2">85
x 85x 87.5 [mm].</font><br>
