NUMERICAL CONTROL COMPUTER SCIENCES will debut PostWorks Connect at IMTS 2026, at booth 135604 in the East building. The next-generation CNC postprocessing platform designed to unify machine management, accelerate deployment, and simplify advanced manufacturing workflows.

Built to replace fragmented legacy postprocessing environments, PostWorks Connect combines universal compatibility, automated machine set-up, and deep engineering customization within a single integrated interface.

The core of the platform is a modern RunTime environment manufacturers can use to manage multiple machine tools side-by-side from one centralized console. Users can instantly drag and drop multi-axis toolpaths directly onto a machine image to generate optimized production-ready NC code.

PostWorks Connect supports native APT-source inputs, binary CL files, and direct CAM-system conversion formats, including Mastercam NCI files. The system also includes embedded scripting capabilities for vendor-specific automation and advanced HTML-based reporting for operator sheets, tool lists, and execution logs.

To streamline implementation, the integrated MakePost Wizard makes it possible to configure CNC machines quickly, for industry-standard controllers including Siemens 840D, Fanuc, Heidenhain, and Mazatrol. The wizard supports automatic two- to five-axis machine set-up with prebuilt kinematic arrangements for AB, AC, BC, and other rotary-axis combinations.

For advanced manufacturing applications, PostWorks Connect provides deep customization through its advanced, menu-driven post-configuration system. Engineers can control machine kinematics, interpolation settings, motion behavior, canned cycles, and even redefine individual Post Words, G-code/M-code tables, and controller-specific output formatting.

PostWorks Connect also delivers a significant operational upgrade for users of PostWorks Classic by replacing disconnected workflows and command-line processes with a unified, drag-and-drop environment that reduces set-up time, improves flexibility, and enhances shop floor communication.

“PostWorks Connect bridges the gap between fast deployment and advanced customization,” stated Don Barnes, vice president at NCCS. “Manufacturers can now standardize postprocessing across their operations while maintaining the flexibility needed for highly specialized machine tools and production environments.”
