Businesses that need an universal two- through 10-axis postprocessor and postprocessor generator to convert NC code

About PostWorks

Advanced PostWorks innovation, with Connect technology. PostWorks is a universal two- through 10-axis postprocessor and postprocessor generator. With 5-Axis + support, the ability to convert NC code for virtually any machine / controller combination, and a host of intuitive features as standard, PostWorks is the only post processor you'll ever need! PostWorks Connect is our latest innovation, combining an easy to use interface, with the advanced functionality for complete control for your machine code. PostWorks Connect is our latest innovation, combining an easy to use interface, with the advanced functionality for complete control for your machine code. PostWorks has the ability to look ahead for a certain postprocessor command during postprocessing. This allows the user to dynamically modify the posted output if a certain postprocessor command is located somewhere later in the input file. Has the option to linearize RAPID motion output if required.

NCSIMUL 4CAM

All-in-one NC programming. NCSIMUL 4CAM is the NCSIMUL SOLUTIONS module that complements existing CAMs to simplify NC programming and increase the flexibility of CNC machines. It allows you to change machines on the fly without new CAM programming. From the main CAMs (CATIA, NX, CREO, TOPSOLIDCAM, MASTERCAM, etc.) or existing NC programs (ISO format), NCSIMUL 4CAM directly generates, without external post-processor, native NC programs, verified and optimized taking into account the physical means of the workshop (tools, cutting conditions, kinematics, machine controllers, etc.) Automatic extraction of trajectories from APT / ISO files and generation of the NC program. One-click machine change and on-the-fly generation of a new NC program without errors. Use of existing NC programs to optimize the machining process by simple copy / paste. Elimination of external post-processor thanks to integrated NC processor. Feedback of changes in the machining process.

CAMplete TruePath

Have you ever wondered why your tool paths look great in your CAM System but not on your milling machine? This is no longer something you have to consider, because with CAMplete TruePath the answer is clear. CAMplete TruePath bridges the gap between your CAM systems and your 5-axis machines. It provides everything needed to post process, verify and simulate 5-Axis tool paths in a 3D environment. CAMplete TruePath is an easy-to-use application that takes you from your CAM System to your machine efficiently and safely. Using toolpath data from all industry leading CAM Systems, TruePath’s customizable post-processor allows you to output your NC programs the way you need, with no on-machine editing required. 5-axis simulation, visualization and verification tools give you the confidence of knowing how your machine will behave before you run a single line of G-code. CAMplete works closely with CAM companies, their applications engineers and end users to ensure compatibility.

Calculix

With CalculiX finite element models can be built, calculated, and post-processed. The pre-and post-processor is an interactive 3D tool using the OpenGL API. The solver is able to do linear and non-linear calculations. Static, dynamic, and thermal solutions are available. Because the solver makes use of the abaqus input format it is possible to use commercial pre-processors as well. In turn the pre-processor can write mesh-related data for nastran, abaqus, ansys, code-aster, and for the free-cfd codes dolfyn, duns, ISAAC and OpenFOAM. A simple step reader is included. In addition, external CAD interfaces are available. The program is designed to run on Unix platforms like Linux and Irix computers but also on MS Windows.
