Keywords: metal cutting, Computer Aided Manufacturing, Virtual Manufacturing, post processor

The authors propose an alternative approach, in metal cutting application, to reduce the physical try-out time through an integrated simulation environment containing CAM software, integrated post-processors and virtual machining environment. Moreover, the authors define a new way to support the post processor programming through the usage of the simulation environment.
