To validate and demonstrate the mechanical parts standard, Team SCRA implemented AP224. Its application has helped bridge the gaps between customers and suppliers by enabling Electronic Commerce, Reverse/Re-Engineering, Data Validation, Job Estimating, Process Planning, and Manufacturing systems. STEPPlan uses feature-based CAPP technology to quickly generate process plans within a unique data fusion environment. Unambiguous product data, shop resource information, and specific knowledge about a manufacturing operation’s processes and practices are combined to quickly generate, from scratch, consistent process plans for a wide variety of machined parts. STEPTrans has been designed and developed to greatly alleviate the many problems commonly associated with incomplete, inaccurate, and ill-maintained technical data. The ultimate objective of the system is to enable its user to rapidly, accurately, and completely capture the design of both existing and new discrete mechanical products. We know that if that objective can be achieved, the individuals responsible for subsequently manufacturing those products should have absolutely no question or confusion concerning what it is they are supposed to produce. And that saves time and that reduces cost. STEPValidator is a Windows-based system designed to validate an AP224 file. It also allows for viewing IGES and AP203 files. STEPValidator presents the part model as a shaded image or as a wireframe image which the user can dynamically rotate, pan, and zoom. Each manufacturing aspect of the part can be viewed and checked during the process.
