Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] CAM post processor

Bill,

A post processes is used within a Cam program. A Cam program takes its
internal file format and converts it into G code for a selected machine.
Each machine can use a lot of different features that require special codes.
Some post processors get very complicated. The end results is a set of G
code that will run on the selected machine.
