CAM POST SOLUTIONSTurn-Mill & Multi-Tasking
Support for B-axis heads, sub-spindles, multiple turrets, channel coordination and machine-specific control requirements.
Specialist CNC engineering
Complex Turn-Mill, Swiss & Multi-Tasking Post Processors
From B-axis turn-mill centres and sliding-headstock lathes to multi-spindle, multi-turret and simultaneous 5-axis machines, Cam Post Solutions develops and troubleshoots machine-specific CNC post processors and simulation solutions.
Over 25 years of Autodesk and Delcam CAM experience, with expertise across Fusion, FeatureCAM, PartMaker and PowerMill.
When a standard post isn't enough
Complex CNC machines need more than correctly formatted NC code. Machine kinematics, rotary limits, channel synchronisation, spindle transfers, tooling and safe machine behaviour all need to be considered. We work with manufacturers, machine-tool suppliers and CAM resellers to scope, develop and verify solutions for demanding applications.
Swiss-Type Machining
Sliding-headstock and guide-bush applications, including multi-channel programming, specialised tool arrangements and complex machine configurations.
5-Axis & Machine Simulation
Rotary kinematics, machine models, travel limits, TCP behaviour, post integration and agreed simulation test cases.

CAM systems and capabilities
Autodesk Fusion
Post development, machine configuration and simulation support for functionality available in the applicable Fusion release. Turn-mill simulation capabilities are evolving; suitability depends on machine configuration and released support.
FeatureCAM
Established turn-mill and multi-tasking post-processing expertise, including complex machine and control requirements.
PartMaker
Specialist Swiss-type and sliding-headstock post-processing experience, including multi-channel machine workflows.
PowerMill
Advanced milling, multi-axis post development and machine simulation support.
Existing Post Reviews
Assessment of legacy posts, NC output, CAM changes and machine-specific requirements before proposing modifications.
Reseller Delivery Support
Specialist subcontract development, technical scoping and commissioning assistance for CAM resellers and machine-tool partners.
About Fusion turn-mill simulation: Simulation support is assessed against the capabilities actually available in the customer's Fusion version and machine configuration. Preview functionality is not represented as generally released.
Turnkey & Industry Partner Support
We support tooling specialists, machine-tool suppliers and CAM resellers who need dependable, machine-specific post processors as part of turnkey machining projects and customer installations.
Technical Scoping
Define the agreed machine configuration, control requirements, CAM workflows and NC output expectations before development begins.
Post Development & Testing
Develop or adapt posts against agreed requirements, compare sample NC output and coordinate structured testing with the customer and relevant machine representatives.
Commissioning & Follow-Up
Support controlled on-machine proving and agreed post refinements, with additional functionality scoped separately.
Working with industry partners: We can support partner-led projects from initial requirements through delivery and commissioning, with project scope, testing responsibilities and acceptance criteria agreed in advance.
Experience with complex machines
Our background includes leading specialist post-processing software development during 25 years at Autodesk and Delcam, alongside hands-on work with turn-mill, Swiss-type and multi-axis machines.
We focus on understanding how the real machine should behave, not simply generating output that looks plausible.
Typical project scope
- New post processors and upgrades to existing posts
- Machine/control requirements and sample NC comparisons
- Multi-channel and spindle-transfer logic
- Machine models, kinematics and simulation integration
- Regression tests and on-site commissioning
- Custom CAM scripts, add-ins and workflow automation
