A list of CAM post processors for EMC

Contents

1. EdgeCAM
2. MasterCam X9
3. Mastercam 9
4. Camworks
5. Vectric cut2D / cut3D / vcarve
6. HEEKSCAD CAM 2D / 3D

1. EdgeCAM

Lathe:
 known working lathe post processor, with fully implemented G33 support; upload:EMC2_lathe.cgd , Edgecam 10.0
 (the lathe post will probably not work well with inch-based systems)

Mill:

 Known working mill post processor; upload:emc2_mill_v2_5.cgd , Edgecam 11.5. Boring does not work

2. MasterCam X9

Mill: upload:mastercamX9-linuxcnc.zip has been successfully tested on a 3 axis machines

3. Mastercam 9

Lathe:

 untested????

Mill:

 -- Option 1: Use the stock MPFAN.PST from MC9, should work for 2D & 3D milling.
    Delete 1 line of code from the top of the NC file until it loads in EMC2.
    (approx. 3-4 lines)
    Programs from this on EMC2 mills all seem to work when using this post except
    for the lines at the beginning of the file that EMC2 doesn't like.  
    NOTE: you may have to remove some A.0 bits from random places in the file.

 -- Option 2: upload:EMC2.ZIP Mastercam post known to work for at least 2D machining...

5. Vectric cut2D / cut3D / vcarve

( Available from http://www.vectric.com )

LinuxCNC post processors for Vectric cut2D and cut3D by cncbasher

Metric version: upload:Linuxcnc_mm.pp

Imperial version: upload:Linuxcnc_inch.pp


Updated versions now covering vcarve and allowing multiple toolchanges

Both versions: upload:ventric-linuxcnc-posts.zip

6. HEEKSCAD CAM 2D / 3D

( Available from http://code.google.com/p/heekscad and http://code.google.com/p/heekscnc )



LinuxCNC post processors that I have changed are in this file -> HEEKSCNC folder Mai 2013 upload:heekscnc.zip
I use the 0.18 version on ubuntu 10.04 there is a pre DEB pack in the download area of CAD and CNC

then under "/usr/lib/ " there is a folder heekscnc where the files belong that are in the ZIP

have fun
