CREO Post Processor?

Hi,

Last year I built a small CNC Machine and I have it working using GRBL/UGS.

I am now planning to make the switch to Linux CNC.

The University I study at has given me a license to use CREO Parametric 5.0. Rather than create my own Post Processor (which to be honest is way above my abilities at the moment.) I am hoping someone could point me in the right direction to a PP that is already created.

Looking forward to using Linux CNC as soon as I can.

There are roughly 50 post processors included in the package.
When I set up my current CNC I tried each one individually. None were suitable and I was lucky enough to find an old forum post inside of the PTC help centre where some kind soul had posted the exact PP I needed.

You are right that there might be one or more suitable post processors included in the CAM package. I am kind of a little anxious to change over to LinuxCNC without prior knowledge of a PP that will work. I feel that for me personally to make the switch to LinuxCNC will be quite difficult and then I may be left without a CNC until I push through the PP problem.

Thanks for your reply!

Cool, I'll keep that in mind.
From memory they are all UNCX01.PP through to UNCX99.PP or something very similar to that.

But I guess they wouldn't have 50 something post processors in there for no reason. Something would have to be close to what I need.

GRBL and Universal G-Code Sender are losing their charm and I'm keen to make the switch to LinuxCNC. Once again, thanks for your reply.

Did you find a solution to this? I am having the same difficulty now...

Unfortunately, no. I haven't gone any further with my CNC upgrade plans. I still plan to make the switch to LinuxCNC and I will continue to use Creo for at least the next four to five years.

Let me know how you go.

Hi,

I'd like to revive this thread, because Creo + linuxcnc might be a good idea to control our cnc-machine.
Does somebody know where to find a postprocessor that works ? (milling)

thanks

Has anyone figured this out yet?

The Robotics team I am on is looking to use PTC CREO and LinuxCNC.
All the 50 PPs in CREO don't work with LinuxCNC in our testing
