ST-Machine for Mastercam and GibbsCAM

The ST-Machine "plug-ins" for Mastercam and GibbsCAM are now available 
on our web site. The two plug-ins read AP-238 files and create "ready 
to post" databases in Mastercam and GibbsCAM.

These two plug-ins are the third leg of our suite of tools for 
evaluating STEP-NC. The other two solutions previously announced
by David Loffredo during my absence in Europe include:

1. The ST-Plan tool for converting STEP data into STEP-NC data. 
2. The STIX Library and STEP-NC Explorer for developing STEP-NC 
   applications.

With these solutions, we believe we have constructed a low cost way 
for enterprises to begin working with STEP-NC. Soon there will be CNC 
machining systems that can execute STEP-NC/AP-238 data directly and 
will be followed by CAD/CAM systems that can write out STEP-NC data.

If you would like to try the new plug-in's they can be found on the 
following web page:
