CAD Import & Plate Preparation
Import 2D drawings and 3D CAD models, prepare cutting geometry, manage contours and apply manufacturing rules. Almacam streamlines part preparation before nesting and reduces repetitive programming work.
Product
Advanced CAD/CAM for plasma and oxyfuel cutting—from part preparation and nesting to machine-ready NC programs.
Almacam for Plasma/Oxyfuel is a complete CAD/CAM solution for programming CNC plasma and oxyfuel cutting machines. It combines CAD import, part preparation, advanced nesting, cutting technology and NC programming in one integrated environment.
Designed for plate-processing companies, steel service centres, heavy fabrication shops and industrial manufacturers, Almacam helps programmers optimize plate utilization while managing the specific requirements of thermal cutting. The software supports efficient cutting strategies, machine-specific technology and reliable NC output for different plasma and oxyfuel machine configurations.
Key features
Import 2D drawings and 3D CAD models, prepare cutting geometry, manage contours and apply manufacturing rules. Almacam streamlines part preparation before nesting and reduces repetitive programming work.
Automatically nest parts using Alma’s true-shape optimization algorithms. Combine orders and quantities while considering part spacing, rotation, material grade, thickness and plate dimensions to improve material yield.
