you can’t use GCode intended for a Shopbot on a OneFinity or vice versa in most cases (different machines that share the same machine controller can often share GCode). But the post-processor is used to create GCode that is specific to a production machine - i.e. Then you convert the toolpaths to GCode using a post-processor. These two steps are independent of the machine that is going to produce the part. The second require a standalone CAM package like Sheetcam. The first set of CAD packages noted above can do this. This is CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing).

tell the computer what you want to do with all the lines in your drawing. It can also be Inkscape, Adobe Illustrator, Affinity Designer or CorelDraw. This is something like Carveco, Carbide Create, VCarve or Fusion 360.

First you design in a CAD (Computer Aided Design) package.
