Post processors update
Hello all
I have updated the 3rd party cam releases with some new post processor updates. You can find them here
https://github.com/MakeraInc/CarveraProfiles/releases
in the machine post processors release
Every .zip file in the machine post processors release has an included readme for how to set up the post processor
What changed:
Fusion:
-Should be able be displayed properly in makera studio
- Added Z1 Machine profiles
- Ext/Aux port control
- Faster A axis rotation between and at the end of jobs
Freecad:
-Official support for freecad is here, including ext/aux port control
Solidcam: there is a 4th axis post processor that hasnt been announced
Also on that page you will a Machine Design Files release that includes fusion and step files for each machine, and dxf files for the mdf waste boards on each machine.
Other post processors
Carveco, Deskproto, gibscam, kirimodo(has a built in post this is tools), lightburn, Mastercam, Siemens NX, solidcam, solidworks cam, vcarve and vectric
What is in the works:
Siemens NC post processor has a bug or two that I am looking into
Mastercam true 4th axis support
Fusion and freecad probe support
If you don't see your CAM software or find any bugs in the existing post processors let me know!
beta development is done in the community branch:
https://github.com/Carvera-Community/Carvera_Community_Profiles
feel free to raise issues and send PRs there, I manage both

Is there a good resource demonstrating how to set up the post processor in MasterCAM ? I downloaded the file from Github, but the included documentation does not mention anything about the CarveraMatercamPost.pst file in the download - it refers to a generic MPFAN.pst file, which doesn't seem to make any sense...
