APT to G Code for 5 axis machining help
Hello guys, I'm a new user of Vericut who is currently under a project that deals with 5-axis machining in Vericut.
Here's my situation:
I am given a APT file in the first place and was told to simulate the machining operation in Vericut...
I am aware that the APT file is required to be postprocessed into G-Code for the machine simulation.
So I have done some book search and manage to find a C++ postprocessor example. However, I find it extremely teadious for me as I'm not proficient in C++.
My question:
Are there any recommended softwares or packages that enables me to postprocess my APT?
Thankyou

We use CAMPOST from Icam.
This postprocessor generator lets you create any post for any type of controller up to a lot of axes. (I beleive 12, but not sure)
