So, that’s where post processor software comes in and translates this CL-file into specific data your CNC machine can use. However, these paths are not yet specific to your CNC machine. This “CL-file” only represents the paths your CNC machine will take when cutting your part. Whatever CAD or CAM system you use, it has a certain point where it produces generic output called a “CL-file.” A post processor is software that translates CAD or CAM data to specific commands your CNC cutting machine can understand. Your CNC cutting machine needs to know what commands you’re giving it.
Here’s some introductory info to make sure you know: First, What is a Post Processor? You realize you know the term, but you’re not quite sure about much else.ĭon’t sweat it! We have you covered. You’ve probably heard of “post processors.” But if you’re like most CNC machine operators, it’s kind of a foggy idea.
