Process Interoperability Value Proposition IMTS on Thursday September 13th 1:30PM to 3:30PM • Present the value proposition • Use cases (NIST to moderate) • Boeing • John Deere • Scania • Airbus • How we resolve the problem • STEP-NC Translators to enable interoperability • What are your concerns and capabilities • Technical feasibility • Time commitment • ROI • Discussion
Action – send invitation letters • User letters/invitations • Boeing (Sid) • John Deere (Sid) • Airbus (Martin -> Alain) • GM (Sid) • Scania (Micke) • Volvo (Micke) • Army (Martin) • NIST (Martin) • Sandvik (Bengt) • Iscar (Doron) • P&W (Bob Erikson) • GE (Martin) • Vendor letters/invitation • Siemens (Sid) • Fanuc (Sid) • Dassault (Sid) • Mastecam (Martin) • GibbsCAM (Doron) • Pro/Engineer (Fred) • CGTech (Leon) First draft of invitation list for July 6thtelecon Second draft for July 20thtelecon Send letter with list of invitees on August 3rd
Value proposition for CAM users • Enhanced coordination with outsourcing partners. • Increased productivity and cost avoidance due to elimination of operator error and repetitive activity • Increased portability and data reuse • Enhanced data flow and increased data quality • Built in best practices • Significantly shortened product life cycle • Unambiguous process content (models are clearly defined as opposed to proprietary content) • Standard basis for part fabrication and manufacturing resources • Reduction of manufacturing flow time for: • Design • Inspection • Planning • NC Programming • Process planning now includes feedback data flow: bi-directional • Reduction or elimination of post processing

Timeline for commercialization • Long term desired outcome • CAM systems read and write STEP-NC • Short term desired outcome • Hold meeting at IMTS (September 13th) • Hold first technical meeting at NIST on December 5? • Which vendors • CAM? • NX, Catia, Pro/E, Mastercam • CNC? • Fanuc, Siemens, Fidia • Cutting Tool? • Sandvik, Iscar, Kennametal, Ingersoll • Machine Tool? • DMG, Mazak, Hermle • Which Users • Boeing, Airbus, John Deere, Ford, GM, GE, P&W?
Strawman Plan • Team meets every 3 months • Read test parts • Verify data • Project goal – read STEP-NC file and create internal database with sufficient detail for immediate post processing • Cycle 1 – Drilling (6 months) • Cycle 2 – Pocket Milling (6 months) • Cycle 3 – Freeform Surfacing (6 months) • Users • We will prepare the test cases for each cycle • Vendors • Write software to read the test cases
