We also have extra details here on Alphacam and Vectric VCarve Pro/Aspire More information on this CAM set up (for machines run on GCode, file extensions will vary) If you’re planning to buy a machine and it isn’t supplied with this software, we can advise you on a good option. If you already have a machine, in all likelihood you will already have CAM software. In fact, many integrations using our DXF post processor are now comparable in speed and performance with a brand specific post processor. The whole process is highly automated and takes only a minute or two to process through the CAM software and output the complete machine code to run your CNC. Again, the DXF output can be fine tuned to the exact requirements of the CAM program you are running. These files will provide the geometry which can be processed in a CAM program to create the GCode to run your machine. If your machine is not one of those for which we have a specific post processor, PolyBoard outputs layered DXF files of each part that you load into a CAM software. There are 100s if not 1000s of CNC manufacturers worldwide.

Integration through intermediate CAM software

SCM / Morbidelli – Xilog / Maestro / PlusĢ.

The integration is seamless and very fast. The configuration of each of these post processors is highly customisable within PolyBoard to match your specific production method. There is no extra processing to be done in the CAM software, all parameters and tool paths are already included. This is ready to load into the CAM software for immediate output of the machine code. All our post processors are highly flexible so you can customise the output to your way of working Built in post processor availableįor some of the major CNC brands we have created a specific post processor that outputs files for the machine’s CAM software in its native file format, for example MPR files for woodWOP/Homag, CIX or CID files for bSolid/Biesse, TCN files for TpaCAD/Felder, XXL files for Xilog/SCM, or HOP files for NC-HOPS/Holz-her and others. There are two main types of configuration depending on machine 1.

The exact configuration of each post processor is also continually being updated, so the parameters in the latest version of the software may not match exactly.
