The worst part of any new CNC software is being confronted by a wall of settings to create a toolpath. If you find problems with the built-in post processors then email us, we’d be happy to see if we can modify the post for you for free. Here’s a partial list of included post processors: The post processor format is fully documented in the help file so you can make changes if you find the need. If your CNC machine takes normal gcode then it will work with MeshCAM. It supports lots of machine types as-is and it can be extended to support most other MeshCAM has a built-in post processor to transform the gcode to work with your machine. Users have come up with incredible uses for this feature to make parts that would be almost impossible with a traditional CAD program. You can open any image file (JPG, BMP, or PNG) in MeshCAM and the image will be converted to a 3D surface that can be machined directly. Sometimes you don’t even have a CAD program. Sometimes you need a part that cannot be designed with a traditional CAD program. If your CAD file can generate an STL file, it’ll work. If you just want to make 2D parts without using a 3D CAD program, you can load 2D DXF files (in R12 format) and extrude them to a 3D part. MeshCAM works with almost every 3D CAD program by opening the two most common 3D file formats, STL and DXF.
