Control Incompatibility. The fact that G code formatted for one machine and control will not function on another machine with another control &#8230; and it causes havoc.<\/p>\n<p>G code has to either be re-posted &#8230; re-programmed &#8230; or manually edited.<\/p>\n<p>Most shops invest heavily in multiple CAD\/CAM post processors to insure they can get G code created from their CAD\/CAM system that will work in all the machines in the shop. Some try to even write their own CAD\/CAM post. But CAD\/CAM companies\u00a0make the post processor language so cryptic and hard to figure out that eventually you buckle in and pay the price for a custom created post.<\/p>\n<p>THE FACT IS &#8230; AND YOU KNOW IT &#8230; CAD\/CAM COMPANIES ARE ONLY INTERESTED IN MAKING CUSTOMERS KEEP PAYING. Whether it&#8217;s yearly maintenance fees &#8230; post processor and post creation charges &#8230; THEY HAVE YOU HOSTAGE.<\/p>\n<p>IT&#8217;S CALLED CORPORATE GREED !!<\/p>\n<p>At Kentech Inc. we believe that EDUCATED CONSUMERS ARE OUR BEST CUSTOMERS. So we devised better ways to beat the control incompatibility issues through INNOVATIVE and PIONEERING G code conversion software like our <a href=\"https:\/\/kentechinc.com\/kipwarexc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">KipwareXC\u00ae<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/kentechinc.com\/cncxchange\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kipware\u00ae CNC XChange<\/a>.

And when a client needs &#8220;special&#8221; treatment for something specific they are doing &#8230; we got their back with custom development. And &#8230; if we feel it&#8217;s something that many people might need &#8230; we even code it for free &#8230; cause we know it just makes our software better.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>Fed up with post processors and their cryptic languages that make it impossible for the average person to configure?

These are called &#8220;proven programs&#8221; &#8230; and are gold in a real world shop. Reverting back to the CAD\/CAM system puts you back to starting-all-over-again. You lose any of the real world changes made &#8230; and more importantly time &#8230; and profits.<\/p>\n<p>G code conversion makes so much more sense because nothing in the original program is changed &#8230; just the program format.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>Reason #2 for G Code Conversion &#8211; <\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Eliminating Costly Posts<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kentechinc.com\/kipware-conversion-software\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kipware\u00ae<\/a> allows users to create an UNLIMITED number of &#8220;profiles&#8221; &#8230; the definition of what-to-convert-into-what.
