The postprocessor and the importance of G-code in CNC machining
In the world of CNC machining, the generation and use of G-code is a central part of the process. In this blog article, we dive into the world of G-code, shed light on its history and explain the role of post-processors (PP for short) in CNC machining. You will also learn how our CNC control software, cncGraF, fits into this picture.
