BobCad post processor

Post by guerra_cues »

Hello friends,

Do you have or do you know how I can obtain the post processor for Bobcad/CNC12? 2D and rotary if it's not a big ask...
Maybe there is an existing post processor that might work already...

Thank you!

I just called them. They have for version 29 and above but I’m on v28. They said they will try convert it to v28 with no guarantees that will work.
I really can’t justify spending close to 2k right now to upgrade to v34.

BC is a PIA. Hope you never gave them a phone number or email. I will say Sorin Nenu was a great teacher when he was on board.

Hello folks,
I am posting a link to the Centroid post-processor of BobCad v27 & v28, which works for both versions. This post-processor was sent to me by BobCad.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gVAWDS ... sp=sharing

1. Download the attached .millpst file
2. Move it to the file location: "C:\BobCAD-CAM Data\BobCAD-CAM V27\Posts\Mill"
3. Open Bobcad
4. In the CAM tree right-click on CAM Defaults and go to Current Settings
5. Select BC_4x_Mill for the Machine Make (you can rename this if you want.)
6. Go to the Posting Tab
7. Under Post Processor click Select..
8. Select the CNC12 post you just moved to the post folder
9. Click OK
