Latest PostWorks compatible with Mastercam files

Mastercam users can benefit from PostWorks ability to convert complex 5-axis tool paths to NC code that efficiently controls the movement and speed of multi-axis machines. For example, PostWorks' look-ahead function automatically reduces excessive rotary axis movement and prevents potential machine over travel, both common problems with certain rotary axis configurations. Many companies use a variety of CAM systems. PostWorks provides a single postprocessor solution thereby eliminating the need to develop duplicate postprocessors for each CAM system. PostWorks is compatible with all major CAM systems including CATIA, NCL and UG. PostWorks generates NC code for a wide variety of machines including mills, lathes, and multi-tasking machines. In addition, PostWorks is compatible with all popular CNC controls including Heidenhain, Siemens, and Fanuc. Add-ons to PostWorks include simulation software that simulates the material removal process and machine movement while performing interference checking between all relevant components of the machining environment. Numerical Control Computer Sciences (NCCS) has been an international supplier of CAM software and services for over 30 years. A recognised leader in software solutions for multi-axis machining applications, its flagship product NCL, is used by leading manufacturing companies throughout the world.
