Sandvik is actively evolving the GibbsCAM Post Processor Library toward a cloud-native model. Upcoming features include:
The GibbsCAM Post Processor Library is a comprehensive, pre-engineered collection of machine-specific code generators that translates GibbsCAM’s internal toolpath data (CL Data) into the precise, proprietary G-code and M-code dialects required by CNC machine tools. It serves as the critical bridge between CAM programming and actual machine execution, eliminating manual code editing and reducing risk.
Unlike generic post processors that require extensive manual configuration, GibbsCAM’s library is built on decades of collaboration with machine tool builders, control manufacturers, and resellers—ensuring factory-recommended outputs for thousands of machine/control combinations.
While the official GibbsCAM library is comprehensive, the user community has also contributed:
Warning: Always virus-scan and test any third-party post on a machine simulator or air-cut before production use.
GibbsCAM offers two modification paths:
