G-Code

[fpendzich]

Our school system just purchased us a Tormach PCNC 1100  Mill and a Slant 15 Lathe.  The controllers for this equipment only accepts G-Code

We're new to PTC Creo Parametric 3.0 (3 years) - We've worked through the Manufacturing design tool to generate an NCL file, but we don't know how to get the G Code necessary to mill the object. I suspect we need a post processor for this mill, but there isn't one listed for our mill in the menu of choices.

Please advise.

You will need to go through the G-Post module and create your own post-processor for that machine tool. There may be a library in the community or on PTC.com for posts that other users have uploaded. These would all be on a 'use at your own risk' limitation.
