Stepover, stepdown, waterline, threshold angles… Do you want to learn a whole new language just to get your first toolpath? 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 G-code then it will work with MeshCAM. It supports lots of machines as-is and it can be extended to support most other MeshCAM has a built-in post processor to transform the G-code 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 program can generate an STL or STEP file, it’ll work with MeshCAM.
