Post Processor files should be in a folder named “GPPTOOL”. 1.5 Verify where your saved location is at for your current post processor files by looking at the top box on the right under “Post-Processor files directory”.1.4 With the SolidCAM / InventorCAM settings open, select the “ Default CNC-Controller” page from the list on the left.1.3 For InventorCAM users: Open the InventorCAM settings by clicking on the “ CAM Settings” button located in the InventorCAM ribbon.1.2 For SolidCAM users: Open the SolidCAM settings by clicking “ Tools” in the main menu area, then “ SolidCAM”, and then “ SolidCAM Settings”.1.1 Close any open SolidCAM or InventorCAM files but leave Solidworks or Inventor open.Verify the saved location of your existing post processor files. Writing the code is tedious and time consuming but with the software called SolidCAM the code can be generated automatically and simulated before it is been fed into the CNC machine via the software called MastersMX and other software compatible with the CNC machine in use.1. The program is known as Word address popularly called GCode (Preparatory code) and MCode(Miscellaneous code) which contains about 384 codes. The ever-increasing use of CNC in industry has created a need for personnel who are knowledgeable about and capable of preparing the programs which guide the machine tools to produce parts to the required shape and accuracy. The operating commands which control the machine tool are executed automatically with amazing speed, accuracy, efficiency, and repeatability. The same part can be reproduced to the same degree of accuracy any number of times if the CNC program has been properly prepared and the computer properly programmed. New machine tools in CNC have enabled industry to consistently produce parts to accuracies undreamed of only a few years ago. The term computerized numerical control is a widely accepted and commonly used term in the machine tool industry. SolidCAM is a software which aids manufacturing, it helps to generate the program (G and M Code) required to manufacture a particular component on a CNC machine.
