A Roadmap for STEP-NC Enabled Interoperable Manufacturing

June 17, 2011
Author(s)
Fiona Zhao, Frederick M. Proctor, Martin Hardwick, Sid Venkatesh, David Odendahl, Xun Xu
STEP-NC is the result of a ten-year international effort to replace the RS274D (ISO 6983) G and M code standard with a modern associative language. The new standard connects CAD design data to CAM process data so that smart applications can understand both
