SolidCAM provides an open-source platform for building Post-Processors. Post-processors are written in SolidCAM’s GPPL (an internal language of SolidCAM), edited and debugged within Microsoft Visual Studio Code allowing processing the output for any G-code format or structure for specific NC control unit.

If you're using SolidCAM for CNC programming, understanding how SolidCAMpostprocessors work is essential to achieving accurate, efficient, and machine-ready G-code.
This documentation is designed to show you how to setup a SolidCAMPost-Processor debugger in Microsoft Visual Studio Code (VS Code) and provide you with an overview of how to use specific features and improve your debugging and developing skills.
With SolidCAM, an additional advantage is the openpostprocessor structure, which allows end users to make their own adjustments if any specific requirements or changes arise.
Built on an open, customizable post-processor platform, they’re developed in GPPL and fully editable within Microsoft Visual Studio Code, giving you complete control over CNC post-processing for any machine, controller, or G-code format.
