For specific post availability, consult the official GibbsCAM Post Processor List (available via your reseller or the GibbsCAM support portal).
The Post Processor is the logic file that applies these rules. It takes the neutral GibbsCAM data and "posts" it out into a text file (G-code) tailored to the specific machine and controller combination. gibbscam post processor library
GibbsCAM classifies its post-processors based on the complexity of the target machine: This process involves several steps, including:
: A complete package includes the post file (newer versions use , older use ), a Machine Definition Document ( ), and often a Virtual Machine Model ( ) for simulation. Standard Locations : Extracted files are typically stored in: C:\ProgramData\CAMBRIO\GibbsCAM\ \Posts\ Customization and Modification This process involves several steps
The Gibbscam post processor library works by using a combination of software routines and databases to convert the toolpath data generated by Gibbscam into a format that can be understood by a specific CNC machine. When a user generates a G-code program using Gibbscam, the software uses the post processor library to translate the toolpath data into a machine-specific format. This process involves several steps, including:
