IMSpost™

Generate NC files immediately

 

IMSpost, the world’s most advanced postprocessing software, transforms CAD/CAM cutter location (CL) files into the specific machine (G/M) codes required by NC machines. With a flexible library of standard postprocessors and machine configurations, you can begin to generate NC files immediately.

The intuitive IMSpost user interface (with a checklist and Windows GUI) provides an efficient work environment that works seamlessly with all major CAD/CAM systems and hardware platforms. IMS macro processor, with source level debugger, provides support for the most complicated postprocessor configurations.

 

IMSpost features include:

  • High speed machining
  • Automatic conversion of point-to-point data to NURBS format
  • User-customized interface or menus (call your own DLLs, scripts, or programs during postprocessor execution)
  • Arc fitting of point-to-point data in any plane
  • CL file read ahead
  • Advanced linearization for multi-axis machines
  • Optimized output using linear tangency
  • State-of-the-art technology, using C++ and Windows GUI
  • Support of all machine classes with any number of linear or rotary axes
  • 5-axis drilling cycles
  • Automatic support of co-linear axes
  • Canned cycles or simulated drilling cycles for machines without cycle support
  • Use of the same postprocessor for any CAM system or hardware platform
  • Easy-to-use macro language and source level debugging tool that traces output line-by-line and statement-by-statement
  • Access to all internal postprocessor variables and source code
  • Conversational output style support
  • User-definable postprocessor syntax
  • Integrated controller emulation/reverse post technology
  • Integrated APT/CL, G-code, and machine view provide the complete picture for CNC post development.

 

The IMSpost virtual CNC controller offers complete analysis of the machine code and provides a true picture of the tool motion. The virtual controller provides support for NC controls from all major manufacturers.
