Creating code for your CNC Machine
CNC Post Processor
Our team of manufacturing engineers can help you to get the most out of your CNC machines by offering CNC post processor writing services to ensure a strong link between CAM and CNC helping you to maximise efficiencies.
SolidCAM
To ensure that you get a seamless transfer from SolidCAM to your machine our team can develop bespoke post processors which accommodate your businesses workflow requirements, specialist machining techniques and machine simulation. All this can be done whilst abiding by the kinematic limits of the machine and the controller's specific language.
Having a custom post processor allows you to make your parts quicker and more consistently, removing the need for manual edits, copy and pasting code and skipping over unwanted sections. Add this to a machine and GCode Simulation can be added and configured for enhanced verification of your process.

Frequently Asked Questions
A post processor translates co-ordinates and settings from a CAM system into a code format that your CNC machine can compute. This is essential in ensuring you can reap the benefits of a standardised, simple, and speedy approach of a CAM system whilst still taking care of the specific requirements of a machine’s code.
In order to make sure you get the correct CNC code for your machine you need to identify the right post processor. We make this process easy by asking you, what the kinematic axes of your machine are and what is the controller? From here we can factor any optional extras your machine has and we make a post processor tailored to your machine, software and needs.
Each of our post processors are made inhouse by our specialist team, this is to make sure you get the post processor you need to suit your requirements, as quickly as possible and if changes are needed this is done directly with no need for it to be passed back to developer, elongating the time taken for delivery and reducing the communication you have with the post writer.
