If you use CAM software such as Siemens NX CAM, Fusion, or Mastercam, you have probably heard the term CNC postprocessor<\/a><\/b><\/span>. But what exactly does it do?<\/p>\n
Simply put, a postprocessor<\/a> is the bridge between your CAM software and your CNC machine. It converts CAM toolpaths into NC code that the machine controller can understand and execute.<\/p>\n
Without a postprocessor<\/a>, a machining program created in CAM cannot run on a CNC machine.<\/p>\n\t
