<p>Standards are like icebergs they move slowly, but change
everything.</p>
<p>2019 has been a record year for the STEP iceberg. <br>
</p>
<ul>
<li>STEP AP242 Edition 2 is finished and ready for final
publication in early 2020.<br>
</li>
<li>STEP-NC AP238 Edition 2 is being balloted for final
publication later in 2020.</li>
<li>CAD/CAM Vendors have extended their translators to include new
information<br>
</li>
<li>More than one million parts were machined using STEP-NC in
2019<br>
</li>
</ul>
You can stick your head in the sand and hope the iceberg misses you.
However, the worlds biggest organizations know model based
development will significantly reduce start up costs for new
manufacturing programs. We can help you get ready. Our advanced
API's are being used to machine millions of parts. Our libraries are
being used by leading CAD, CAM and BIM vendors to read and write
STEP, STEP-NC and IFC data. We are making the first test beds for
supervising digital manufacturing. Contact us if you would like to
know more. <br>
