Custom Post Processing Service and Support

A Post Processor is needed to translate toolpath information from Mastercam into an NC format the machine tool can interpret. Mastercam provides a default set of Post Processors available with the product installation. Mastercam also has an extensive library of available post processors for use with Mastercam.
MACDAC’S Post Processing Department is responsible for development and maintenance of Post Processors for use with the Mastercam product line, as well as support related to Post Processors.

When requesting Post Processor modifications to an existing post processor please follow these guidelines:

  1. Provide your contact information, the Mastercam version you are running, and the serial number of your SIM.
  2. Provide a detailed description of the problem you are having.
  3. Provide the make and model of the machine and control.
  4. Provide a zip2go file from Mastercam of the part file that you are having trouble with. (Be sure to select all possible check boxes when creating the zip2go file)
  5. Post the Part file with the machine definition in question and in the editor note the changes needed to the NC file.
  6.  Add any additional comments you think may be necessary or helpful.

You can contact MACDAC’S Post Processing Department Monday - Friday, 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., USA EST at 860-749-5544 X 102 or by sending an e-mail to support@macdac.com.
