Introduction

GPPtool is a General Pre- and Post-Processor tool that enables you to accomplish the following:

  1. Define the Pre-processor parameters that affect the tool-path generation in SolidCAM.

  2. Define the Post-processor parameters and the GPPL (General Post-processor language) procedures that define how the SolidCAM tool-path commands develop into G-Code for the particular CNC controller.

These capabilities provide you with the following:

  1. The ability to change an existing pre- and post-processor for a CNC machine that is already supported by SolidCAM. This is done either to make small changes in the G-Code format for example or to customize the G-Code produced by the system in order to fit a certain template that the user is comfortable with.
  2. The ability to develop a new pre- and post-processor to support a CNC machine that is not yet supported in SolidCAM.
