HSMWorks post-processor

Received my Makera Z1 yesterday and really like the machine. I have the 4th axis included and which I need for some projects

I want to do 3+1 milling with this 4th axis mostly, because that's much more efficient for the jobs I need it for. That's not an option in the Makera cam software as far as I see.

In the past I used HSMWorks in Solidworks for CAM and I really like that software, especially since I make my 3D files in solidworks as well.

Is there a post processor for the Makera Z1 and HSMWorks available? And if not, are the Makera commands based on a more widely available machine controller like Fanuc or whatever? In that case I can probably adjust an existing post processor to work for the Z1

Thanks!
