A Pilot Program Is In Place For Using STEP AP203 Data For Some Of Our Mechanical Vendors

We Are Developing A Basic STEP AP210 Output To Pass Electronic Component Library Data To Our CIM Environment

We Are Planning On Replacing Our Internal Product BOM Format With STEP AP210 Within The Next Year For Passing Product Data From Engineering To CIM

A Collaborative AP210 Pilot Between Rockwell Collins and Boeing Is Underway

Investigating the development of a STEP AP210 translator for Zuken-Redac

Proprietary Issues are being Addressed to Support Library-Based Data In A STEP File

Currently Providing IGES and STEP 203 Data, but will soon transition to only STEP 203

Involved in a CAM-I International Project Focused on Feature Standardization

Looking for Externally Funded Projects that can be Leveraged to Advance STEP
