We have been able to make STEP-NC data containing the tooling
optimizations made by both Sandvik and ISCAR.<br>
<br>
The two new files are on the ftp site along with the original file
made by Boeing<br>

We asked the two vendors to make optimized data for the first
pocketing operation (called "Pocketing 15 WS 25"). They responded
by making Mastercam files.<br>
<br>
In each ZIP file you will find the STEP-NC file exported by
Mastercam (called "xyz"_export.p21) and the result of integrating
that data into the full Hardy model as a replacement for operation
25.<br>

We have released the first test file for the cutting tool vendors.<br>

<br>
As you can gather from the minutes of the last call there has been
a delay. We had more difficulty than expected in generating the
in-process solids for operation 25 (machining of first pocket).<br>
<br>
We believe there are a number of issues that need to be discussed.
Therefore we are proposing to hold a workshop at the next OMAC
meeting on February 14th in Orlando, Florida.<br>

<br>
Our agenda for the conference call:<br>
<br>
1. Discuss the in-process solids generated for the new part<br>
2. Report back by the cutting tool vendors on their success in
generating tooling solutions for these solids<br>
3. Discussion of the goals of the in-process modeling workshop<br>
