If our system has to cooperate with other CAD/CAM-programs, nccad must import a suitable NC-program, that means that the post-processor of the external CAD/CAM-software has to be adjusted. Of course we want to support customers who wants to continue working with his favorite CAD-program using more complex or special functions which nccad does not offer. our Multi-Controller MCS all these steps can be taken within our delivered CAD/CAM-Software nccad, without compatibility problems. You have to use 3 different programs (CAD, CAM and CNC) and 2 times export/import is necessary. the appropriate postprocessor must be chosen. Before generating the NC-code the machine resp. control unit has got its individual 'dialect'. It must take into account the specific code elements and properties. a CNC-program for roughing and one for finishing. Note: The two formats DXF and STL can be imported directly in nccad to use the CAM-module of nccad.

Many CAM-programs can import other formats, too. A) DXF for 2D-drawings and 2 1/2D-millingī) STL for 3D-bodies and 3D-milling or 3D-printing.
