Creating a Profile - Plasma/Gas Cutting
Creating a Profile - Plasma/Gas Cutting
(OP)
Hey All
Im looking a piece of software will out put a 'G and M' NC Code where the input it a dxf or similar
I have a gas profiling machine that cuts profiles on the ends of Fork Lift Truck Forks so the programs and profiles are very simple
i.e. cuts one at a time. No need for nesting etc
All the progs I have seen so far are very expensive
for what I need
I hoping there is shareware/freeware/demo of a simpler option
TIA

RE: Creating a Profile - Plasma/Gas Cutting
Also, the only program I've used similar to your description, always needed tweeks to the code to start and end cutter paths.
It's called CAD-Link and requires you to draw the profile in CAD first.
I'm sure there's a program out there that does what you want, but try doing it "handraulically" first.

I have since come across CAD link and it is about
the same price as ProCut which I was offered
I did some Gcode at college but its simply a time thing !
Spending £1500UK is better than me sitting about
trying to get with it again but I thought they may be software more suited to my simple cut than CadLink
Thanks
