Definition:
A post processor is a translator that takes APT files or Cutter Location Data files as an input, typically generated from CAM software (Computer Aided Machining), and converts them into G-code or NC code, that your manufacturing machine can understand. Think of it as turning a recipe written in French into English so a chef who only speaks English can follow it. These instructions tell the machine exactly how to move and cut materials to create parts, ensuring the machine works precisely as intended.
