Generic Post Processing in GibbsCAM

GibbsCAM installs standard with the PostHASTE generic post processing engine. Within an open GibbsCAM vnc file, navigate to Plug-Ins > Main Tools > PostHASTE, and select your post processor from the library.

PostHASTE is designed for quick & easy use. Because of this, most of the PostHASTE format templates look very much like an NC program. Simply edit the template to look like the code you want, using any text or program editor you like (i.e. NotePad), and then PostHASTE outputs your code to match.

Below is an excerpt from an actual PostHASTE template and its resulting NC code.  Notice how the template itself looks very much like the NC code it produces!

Note: Simple variable names can be used to show the "numerical meaning" of each letter in your program. As an example, [H] [V] and [D] for horizontal, vertical and depth axis positions, or [Tool] for the tool number.
