>> Well, I want to first thank you
for getting this tutorial
and taking the time to look through
how to move forward
with the new ESPRIT TNG, which is
the future of ESPRIT.
There's just no doubt about it
that the future of ESPRIT
lies in this product.
So, I think the more we learn about
how to migrate to ESPRIT TNG
the better off we are.
ESPRIT TNG of course
is an evolving product.
There's new functionality
being added all the time.
There's also a great deal
of resources being put towards
releasing a high-quality product
that far exceeds
the capabilities of the ESPRIT
2000 series.
For some time I suspect
there'll be parallel tracks
of ESPRIT 2000 users
and ESPRIT TNG.
Of course, you noticed
that the ESPRIT TNG
can co-exist with ESPRIT, so you can
run your ESPRIT 2000
and TNG on the same computer
with no conflicts.
We also talked a little bit about
how to migrate data
from ESPRIT 2000 to TNG,
both in the form of .esp files
existing machine set-ups
with solids,
and also how to modify
post-processors
to work in ESPRIT TNG as well.
And so, I'd say we...this tutorial was
really just to begin to kind of get you
pointed in the right direction
and maybe help you
get your feet under you
as you start exploring
the ESPRIT TNG product.
Plans are to next work on a full line
of TNG tutorials
just like we've done
with the 2000 series.
So, we'll probably be releasing
at some point in the future
probably starting with Wire EDM,
because that's one area that's
there's more users clearly
of Wire EDM
and they will move off
into the Milling and Turning.
Unclear yet how we're going
to package these,
because, you know, the layout
of ESPRIT TNG is all different
than 2000 series, but suffice it to say
that we will come up with
very in-depth tutorials just like we did
with the 2000 series product line,
and to help teach you how to use
and get the most out of your
ESPRIT TNG.
So, for now, that takes care of this
first look tutorial
and I've learned a lot
through this process
I've spent probably more time
working on files with this...
for this tutorial that I've done
with TNG for the last couple of years.
So, I've learned a lot
in the process
and I know that the product
will keep getting better, stronger,
and it's going to continue to improve.
So...so that takes care of this tutorial
and we wish you the best of luck
as well as all of your
future ESPRIT projects
whether they be in ESPRIT 2000
series, or ESPRIT TNG.
We wish you the best with all
of your ESPRIT projects.
