Sheetcam laser post processor software#
So, I agree it's more like actual CAM software in functionality but it does require a custom post-processor for this rather "unique" machine which is a cheap made-in-china POS but it will get the job done (currently in production). So, the nesting software will output a DXF file, which is currently being pulled into the CNC machine, which we then have to "massage" manually for this machine as it's post-processor isn't ideal and there is no way we can get it and modify it. I've been asked to help out on something that I only have limited info and I didn't think it would be this difficult to find a solution (my bad). Why? I'm not sure, I don't have access to that info. The company who writes the nesting software won't make a post-processor for this machine. Does that sound more like what you are looking for?I agree to some extent, but mostly that I misstated a bit.

So you are looking for someone to write, not a post-processor, but a custom program to take DXF files and convert them to G-code that doesn't run in existing CAM software. But your reply where you mentioned BobCAD sounds like you don't want to use commercially available CAM software. So if you truly are looking for a post-processor then the first question will be "what CAM software are you using?". It converts the pretty lines you see on the screen into code custom tailored to your specific machine and needs. A post-processor works in conjunction with CAM software.

I don't think you know what you're asking for.
