The Core Message Why Convert Instead of Repost?
- Save time and reduce downtime
- Preserve proven toolpaths and edits
- Avoid costly reprogramming or CAM software use
- Lower risk of introducing errors
Business Impact — Quick Wins for Your Shop Floor:
- 85% faster transitions between machines or shops
- Zero CAM license needed for minor changes
- Higher uptime for machines and operators
- Lower cost per part for legacy runs
Cases Where G-Code Conversion Shines:
- Moving old G code programs to new machine
- Migrating proven parts to newer equipment
- Sending jobs to suppliers using different controls
- Reusing family-of-parts toolpaths with slight machine variations
Head-to-Head Comparison
| Task | Reprogram/Repost | Convert G-code |
| Time to result | 4–8 hours | < 30 minutes |
| Required expertise | CAM Programmer | Machine tech |
| Risk of new errors | High | Low |
| Software license needed | Yes (CAM system) | No |
| Proven toolpaths reused? | No | Yes |
Addressing Concerns
| Objection | Response |
| “Is it safe?” | Proven motion paths are preserved and verifiable |
| “What if I need CAM logic?” | Use CAM only when needed; convert for legacy/proven runs |
| “Will it affect quality assurance?” | Converted code can be validated just like reposted output |
Hybrid Strategy Smart Workflow = Flexibility
- Use G-code conversion for speed and safety
- Repost/reprogram only when geometry changes
- Keep both tools in your toolbox
Case Study / Demo Opportunity Real-World Savings:
- Converted 40-part legacy job to new machine in 1.5 hours
- Avoided $2,000 in CAM reprogramming labor
- Zero scrap on first run with converted code
