Post Processors

Camaix Postprocessors translate the machine independant Mastercam NCI format into the G-Code for your CNC machine, like Fanuc, Heidenhain, Siemens, Hurco Ultimax etc. for milling and lathe machining.

In case of 2D and 3D machining the postprocessor has only formatting work to do to translate the Mastercam output to the controller language. In 5 axis machining the Mastercam postprocessor has to do a considerably more complicated task. The postprocessor performs the mathematical description of a virtual 5 axis machine with all of it's linear and rotational axis movements.
