SOLIDWORKS CAM & CAMWorks post processors, designed for your specific machine needs, ensure you get the proper G-code to link your CAM system to your CNC machine.
STANDARD AND CUSTOM POST PROCESSORS FOR CNC PROGRAMMERS
In a CAM system, the anticipated CNC machine movements are represented on the screen by lines, arcs, circles, and spline. In complex parts there could be millions of moves. The images, or tool paths, on the screen each have a corresponding CL value (cutter location value). This CL Data is converted behind the scenes by the post processor into the specific G-code that each of your machines needs to run properly. The correct post processor will successfully convert the image on the screen into the g-code to make your desired part. The wrong post processor can cause machine crashes – or worse.
HOW HAWK RIDGE SYSTEMS CAN HELP
Over the years, we have produced exacting code for clients of all sizes and
the most demanding machines. We have a full-time dedicated staff that writes
and handles post processors only, leveraging their combined 75+ years of
experience. This allows for fast turnaround times and more individual focus on
your immediate need.
When an aerospace company with over 125 CNC machines, some costing as much
as $2 million, needed a company they could trust for post processors they
turned to us.
When a tier 1 automotive supplier needed parts fast for a new machine, we
provided the post processor within days.
It’s not all about the big companies – we are here for you no matter how
large or small. We were just as happy to supply a small shop with their
Röders ultra-high-speed milling machine post processor.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can I edit the supplied post
processor?
No, the post consists of machine compiled language files and the source is
not supplied to the customer.
Can I create my own post processor?
Yes, posts can be created through the UPG (universal Post Generator). Once
created, you can do minor source editing in the UPG without knowing the
programming language. The UPG will get you started.
Is there a limit or time limit for
posting edits on a custom post processor?
No, if you are up to date on support with us, we will edit the post
processor for the duration of your support contract.
