Post Processor for Powermill & Mach3

Here is a Post Processor file that can be used within Powermill for the Mach3 controller. I got this from a friend.

I tried it out myself and it works for me. Please note that I did not test every feature of the post processor file.

That's great. What cad/cam does it work with?

It works with the Delcam Powermill software which is a CAM product. I used Solidworks for the CAD, but works for any CAD. The machine controller used is Mach3.

The post processor is specific to Powermill and Mach3.

i need delcam postprocessor for anilam 1100 M please help dear.please send if anyone my brother have it. at [email protected].
