1. New Post Processors
Milling Post Processors
Added generic milling post processor for FAGOR controls, such as 8058/8060/8065/8070, with an option for the easyplane function.
Added generic milling post processor for machines with Kitamura Arumatik controls.
2. Improved Post Processors
We are always working to keep post processors up to date with new technologies. This is a summary of the main improvements made to post processors already in the library.
Generic Post Processors
-Added support for machining type Polar in multiple generic milling post processors.
-Added support for machining type Polar in multiple generic millturn post processors.
-Fixed polarCycleExpandMode setting to be backwards compatible with older post kernel versions.
Milling Post Processors
DMS Router with Fagor 8065 Control
Updated DMS router fagor 8065 post to use shared content across post processors
Added the 'Use G68.2' post property to several Fanuc based post processors.
Haas, Haas EC, Haas Next Generation Control, Haas Inspection, Haas Next Generation Control Inspection, Haas Desktop Mill, Haas UMC-750
Fixed incorrect feed mode output when 'useG95forTapping' property is enabled in Haas post processors.
Fixed missing Z axis retract when using head configuration machines in Huro post processors.
Resolved the missing TCP cancellation command issue between operations in Mitsubishi based post processors.
Fixed issue with Single Line Retract for OSAI Post processor.
3. New Machines
The Machine Library lets you manage your machine tools by using Machine Configurations to define your available machines and resources. These configurations can automate the settings in your Job Setup.
There are many Machine Configurations available in the standard library.
Milling Machines
You will have available configuration files for some of the leading machine manufacturers:
The following configuration files do not contain any 3D model, but have all the settings required to optimize your postprocessor for these specific machines:
The easiest way to get started, is to copy an existing configuration that matches some of the characteristics of your machine.
4. Improved Machines
Milling Machines

Updated "Layer 1 Extruder Temp" settings in all FFF print settings.
6. Tools and Tool Holders
The Tool Library lets you manage tools for Milling, Turning, Cutting (waterjet, laser & plasma), Touch Probes and Holders. The Tool Library lets you manage libraries of predefined tools and project documents.
Successfully streamlined our tool libraries by removing outdated ones.
7. Post Processor Ideas
To make our library more varied and complete, we are always working on new post processors. Some of them still need more testing before being released in the public library. Every new Beta post processor is announced in the Idea Station, you can find all of them in the Post Processor Idea Station .
Please note that if you choose to use one of these post processors, you assume all inherent risk in using it and we ask that you proceed with caution.
That being said, we are looking forward to get your feedback!
