IntelliPost Configuration Tool and Postprocessor The first standard postprocessor solution comprehensive enough to be totally relied upon by most major CAD/CAM vendors. The IntelliPost postprocessor is a user-definable software link between NICAM IV and the NC/CNC machine tool. IntelliPost can be tailored to support a wide variety of machine tool/controller combinations: mills, lathes, machining centers, wire EDM, flame cutters, and more. Programming skills are not required, only a knowledge of the basic characteristics of a specific machine and control.

Sophisticated Postprocessor Interface NICAM IV has been carefully engineered to accommodate and understand all machine tool link vocabulary. Users can extend the standard supported syntax to totally control CL file generation. The IntelliPost system contains an integral macro processor enabling total user control while postprocessing the CL file.
