Postprocessor development

Postprocessors convert the CAM system's neutral CLData stream into the machine specific files required by a CNC control. This documentation covers the two postprocessing systems and the shared data they process.

Main sections

• SPPX postprocessors - create postprocessors in the built in Pascal like language with the Postprocessors generator.
• .NET postprocessors - build postprocessors as .NET assemblies using the DotnetPostprocessing SDK. The API reference is part of this section.
• CLData - reference for the shared toolpath and technology command stream.
• AI assisted development - configure tools and workflows for developing postprocessors with an assistant.

Choose a section above to start. The SPPX and .NET systems are independent authoring paths and use the same CLData input.
