Does anyone use NX to program for a 5 axis CNC?
Does anyone use NX to program for a 5 axis CNC?
(OP)
Curious about this because I was told that NX's post builder is not sophisticated enough to write a post script for our Thermwood 5-axis CNC. Thanks!
EDIT: We currently program in Master Cam and use a post script that we purchased and cannot edit.

In fact there is a Thermwood post in the free library that may give you a good starting point. Go to Help --> Online Technical Support --> Download NC Postprocessor.

As far as Thermwood is concerned, any post in nx has got a high scope of customization provided you have a fair amount of knowledge of postbuilder and TCL. I think specialist people in the forum may help you if you ask for.
I myself built a 5 axis PP for Makino long ago for NX and still running smooth, ofcourse calls for improvement.
Unlike UGNX, editing MCam posts actually needs no knowledge of any programing language, please contact mcam for a special training on PP eidting.

in Brazil I myself developed with post builder
where I am a specialist in NX, today Mastercam is too late
as 5-axis, then analize before talking about nx, today
leading him ,and if you need a post for your machine I can easily develop with post builder, though as Mark said
and an unusual job, but I can realize your dream.
