SolidWorks Post Processor needed for Centroid Mill CNC7

Post by klmoses »

I'm configuring my SolidWorks 2020 and don't see a Centroid mill specific post processor. I have 4 Fanuc post processor options fanuc10m, fanuc11m, fanuc16m and fanucom. Anyone know one that works well with CNC7 ?

He's using Solidworks CAM. It's a fairly recent addition to the Solidworks family.
Cheers,

Confidence is the feeling you have before you fully understand the situation.
I have CDO. It's like OCD, but the letters are where they should be.

Thank you for the replies. The FanucOM seems to work well. I have been drawing parts in 2D for 30 yrs. and using VCarve for my cam package for 10 yrs. My new employer requires everything to be created and processed in SolidWorks and the learning curve is killing my productivity. Probably has something to do with " Old dogs and NEW tricks.
