Custom Post-Processor Development
Your CAM software is only as good as the code it outputs. If your programmers are hand-editing G-code after every post, you're burning skilled labor on something that should be automated.
I build and customize post-processors matched to your specific machine, control, and CAM software. The result is clean, ready-to-run code — proper canned cycles, correct tool change sequences, program headers formatted to your shop standards, and safe start/end blocks configured for your machine.
Every post is tested against your actual part programs before delivery. I don't hand you a file and disappear. I verify the output runs the way your operators expect it to — because I've stood at the control and run parts myself for 15 years.
