The output of CAMWorks and SOLIDWORKS CAM is a g-code file.

Post processors are a critical part of any CAM system.

SOLIDWORKS CAM comes with many standard post processors, but custom posts can be purchased and supported through GoEngineer for more specialized needs. Post processors are information translators, converting SOLIDWORKS CAM data into G-Code that your machine controller can read.

DISCLAIMER: No guarantees are either expressed or implied that any Post Processor on this website will work on any given machine controller, including yours.Your machine controller may vary from others and therefore, adjustments to the Post Processor may be required from a knowledgeable specialist at your SOLIDWORKS or CAMWorks reseller.
