A post processor is a software component that translates the output of a Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) system, such as GibbsCAM, into a format that can be understood by a specific CNC machine. This translation is crucial, as different CNC machines have unique requirements for controlling their movements, spindle speeds, and tool changes. The post processor acts as a bridge, converting the CAM system's output into a machine-specific code that can be executed by the CNC machine.
