What you can do with ConfigPost

ConfigPost enables you to create and save custom post processor configuration files for the CNC machine you select to machine a part. This process is often referred to as configuring a postprocessor.

Machine tool manufacturers use a variety of CNC program standards, but ConfigPost gives you the freedom to configure a postprocessor for virtually any CNC.

Postprocessor configuration files commonly use .PST as a file extension. For example, FANUC.PST is a postprocessor configuration file for a machine equipped with a Fanuc control.

Note: CNC Lathes equipped with a sub-spindle require two Post files: one with the extension .PST and one with the extension .SUB, for example, T42.PST and T42.SUB. When working with ConfigPost you open either a .PST file or a .SUB file. When you are working with PartMaker and select Post Config File from PartMaker’s Job Optimizer menu, both files are opened at once.
