While CAM software has evolved tremendously over the past three decades, one critical part of the workflow has remained nearly unchanged: CNC post-processor development.

Many CAM systems today offer advanced toolpaths, innovative machining strategies, and increasingly user-friendly interfaces. Yet the post-processor editors inside these systems are still built on manual coding environments — a technology that hasn’t significantly improved in 30 years.

For manufacturers and CAM programmers, this creates major roadblocks.

The Problem with Traditional Post-Processor Technology
Even in 2025, developing or editing a CNC post-processor still requires:

Deep CNC machining knowledge
Strong math and kinematics expertise
AND software development skills

This creates a significant skill barrier. Even within CAM software companies, only a select few specialists can fully handle post-processor development. For everyone else, the result is:

Difficulty customizing the post to your needs
Lack of flexibility when switching CAM systems
Risky, time-consuming manual NC code edits
Limited use of advanced CNC machines due to lack of support
Huge productivity losses and costly machine errors

In short, the technology forces users to adapt to the post-processor, instead of the post-processor adapting to the user.

The Hidden Cost of Outdated Tools
Struggling with post-processors often means:

Sticking with a suboptimal CAM software just because the post works
Avoiding 5-axis or multi-turret investments due to post limitations
Wasting time troubleshooting NC code or tweaking by hand

It’s a silent productivity killer that can cost your business hundreds of thousands annually.

Isn’t it time to modernize?

🚀 Introducing a Smarter, Faster Way: MANUSpost Developer
There is a better solution.

MANUSpost Developer is a next-generation CNC post-processor development environment that eliminates the barriers of traditional systems. Here’s what sets it apart:
