fastPOST Suite

Generating postprocessors for CNC machines – with lower process costs and up to 40 percent faster

The fastPOST software suite lets you generate, simulate and validate NC programs quickly and reliably. The best-in-class solution for digital continuity between the 3DEXPERIENCE platform and CAD and CAM software ensures that CNC machines achieve optimal manufacturing results. fastPOST accelerates generation of production-ready NC programs and also permits sophisticated, high-yield scenarios like closed door machining and adaptive machining.

Impact

What can fastPOST do for your business?

Perfect postprocessing: fastPOST guarantees automated and efficient programming of your machine tools. The software suite was developed specifically for integration with IT products by Dassault Systèmes – and it’s been proving its capabilities for more than three decades. That makes it one of a kind worldwide.

Your manufacturing benefits from three high-performance functions: fastPOST for CNC postprocessing, fastCONTROL for NC code simulation, and fastPOST Builder for CNC postprocessor generation.

With fastPOST, your experts save time and effort because postprocessors can now be generated and adapted far more quickly and securely. And they’re always up to date: Thanks to our close collaboration with leading machine tool makers like Hermle, Makino or Zimmermann, we’re always up to speed on the latest developments.

Experience CNC manufacturing at a whole new level – with these outstanding features:

  • NC code is precisely tuned to machine specifications
  • Fully configurable to ensure that specific manufacturing standards are satisfied
  • Reliable NC code validation via simulation and controller emulation
  • Fully automated NC code generation
  • NC code includes measurement and inspection cycles
  • Dynamic, real-time adjustment of tool paths and machining parameters based on material properties and component geometry
  • Transparent workflows thanks to frictionless data exchanges between systems

Technical Highlights

  • Robust plug-and-play solution for use with DELMIA Machining, CATIA/CATIA V5 and Solidworks
  • Ideal solution for highly regulated industries like aerospace, defense and automotive
  • Integration with additional systems such as process data management (PDM), tool management (TM) and manufacturing execution systems (MES)

Use cases

Typical fastPOST use cases that we can showcase

Closed door machining
 

Complex components with narrow tolerances require continual quality control during production. Manual intervention slows down the process and increases the risk of errors.

fastPOST resolves these issues by automating NC processes and ensuring real-time quality control via in-process inspections.

Benefits

  • Operator-free manufacturing reduces staff workload
  • Automated NC machining requires minimal manual intervention
  • Real-time inspections for consistent quality control
  • Precise and efficient manufacturing

Adaptive machining

 

Varying material properties and component geometries cause downtime and jeopardize quality target attainment.

fastPOST resolves these issues by adjusting tool paths and parameters in real time based on live data.

Benefits

  • Up to 40 percent reduction in manufacturing cycles
  • Optimum machining precision even in difficult scenarios
  • Greater efficiency thanks to reduced error and reject rates
  • Flexibility even when processing complex geometries and materials
