Installing your Post Processor
Copy the post file(s) to C:\Mozaik\Data\CNC\Posts
Open the Optimizer
Click on Libraries
Click on Machines
Select the CNC Router (or Add Machine to create new)
Verify the CNC Machine Checkbox is checked

Enter the spacing required between nested parts.NOTE - this should be larger than your profile tool.

CNC Machine Properties
Click on the Post Processor Drop Down menu
Select the post file saved in the post folder - C:\Mozaik\Data\CNC\Posts
Enter the Z Safe and Plunge Clearances
Z Safe Clearance - Distance in Z that is safe to make a rapid move.
Plunge Clearance - Amount to ramp down to during rapid just before
plunging into material.
Enter the coordinates for your Park Position.
(Position to move head for loading and unloading the table)
If your machine uses the Mozaik Park values in the END OF FILE post processor commands, Mozaik will automatically add GCode to the end of each file to move the head to this position for loading and unloading of materials.
Check this box if your machine requires short files names (6 characters or less).
If you do not check the Short File Names box, Mozaik will add the material name to the sheet name making it easier to fine and track your files.
GCode files are stored in the job folder initially C:\Mozaik\Jobs\(jobname)\GCode\(materialname). Once created you can move them to your CNC Machine via a network connection, a cloud drive, or by USB drive.
