QuickCAM and Roland (MDX40)
Hello everyone,

Can someone help? I am looking for a Poet Processor for QuickCAM to an MDX40?

QuickCAM needs .PPL post post processors - I have .PL files, but they don't seem to work. I seem to remember there was a Roland.PPL at some point in QuickCAM?

I know the MDX40 machines are very old, but it works well. I use Visual Toolpath, which is very limited compared to QuickCAM. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Hi,

Both QuickCam 2D and QuickCam Pro have the Roland Modela as an option in the post processor output.

Hi! Thank you for your reply.

These options generate a .ROL output file.

VPanel only accepts: .RML .PRN .NC .NCD. NCT and .TXT files

I have tried changing the file extension to see if if that would work, but no success.

I don't know enough about Post Processors to know how to convert it.
