Mr. Huff served as Manager of a Software development group. Products under his development supervision included I/MLO Machine Language Output, I/DNC Distributed Numerical Control, I/DNC-DBA Distributed Numerical Control - Database Access, I/TAPE Paper Tape Punch Software, and I/BCL Binary Centerline Output for Machine Tools. All the products have been utilized in the NAVSEA and NAVAIR contracts to Intergraph from the U.S. Navy. His MLO product used by NAVSEA in 1993 and first half of 1994 resulted in a savings of $395,469 to the U.S. Navy according to estimates by the SEACOSD group of the U.S. Navy.

When Intergraph sold their CAM software to Unigraphics the Machine Language Output product was the only Intergraph product ported to run on the NX platform software. The I/MLO code was the origin of what is now the PostBuilder product in NX today. Mr. Huff was the development manager of the MLO product and wrote many of the specifications and software in the product.

Mr. Huff also managed the Custom Software Department responsible for Custom Post Processor development for customer machine tools. This included project management of over 150 software development projects for post processors per customer’s requirements for milling machines with up to five axis of simultaneous contouring, complex mill-turn machines with simultaneous four axis turning and live spindles for milling in a single machine tool. He often wrote MLO code for post processors when circumstances necessitated an additional resource. As development manager of the I/DNC product, Mr. Huff developed a product to allow network connection of machine tools in the shop to Intergraph computers. He was task to design a system modular in design to allow for current and future machine tools to be connected to the network.
