Defines the machine’s kinematic chain:
MTM post processors handle complex kinematics, such as multi-turret, multi-spindle, Swiss-turn, and mill-turn centers. They sync simultaneous operations, manage wait codes, and handle complex part transfers between spindles. 5-Axis Simultaneous Posts
The .form file is a text-based companion file that allows users to modify user-accessible parameters without rewriting the core translation logic. It handles settings like default file extensions, specific text headers, and macro call preferences. 3. The ComPost Utility
Over the years, the post-processor file format in GibbsCAM has evolved to support increasingly complex machines. The older PST format, while still supported for compatibility, has been superseded by the newer POST format. The POST format was created to:
A custom post is written or modified specifically for your machine’s exact configuration, including optional hardware (e.g., fourth axis, live tooling, Y-axis on a lathe).
The is not an afterthought or a trivial configuration file. It is the final, unforgiving gateway of manufacturing. A mediocre post processor will frustrate your programmers, crash your machines, and bleed profitability through manual code editing. A great post processor runs silently in the background, allowing your team to focus on cutting metal, not editing code.
The fastest way to install a post processor package (often provided as a .zip file from a reseller) is to the zip file directly into any open GibbsCAM window.
Ensure the post sends the machine to a safe physical coordinate for tool changes, especially on machines with large parts or long tools.
How many are you programming (e.g., 3-axis mill, multi-spindle lathe, 5-axis gantry)?
If your G-code requires manual edits after posting, you should have your post processor professionally modified to achieve "post and go" results. To request a change from your GibbsCAM Reseller :
