#CNC PLASMA ART FILES SOFTWARE#

The software has been structured to let you customize whether you just want simple options for quick cut-outs or whether you want to access more advanced features to control cutting on particular material. It is used for some of the simplest and also the most complex things you may do with your CNC. The profile toolpath is probably the most important toolpath option available. This is often used when profiling with a v-bit tool, where with a conventional toolpath the tool will 'roll' round a sharp external corner leaving a radius on the top of the chamfer created by the tool, with the 'square corners' option an angular chamfer will be created instead. The ability to specify that square corners are required is another powerful feature. This can significantly improve the finish on the cut-edge. If this allowance is given, then all but the last pass will be over-cut by the specified allowance with the final pass being the only pass which cuts to the actual edge of the part. The number of passes on a cut can be edited very precisely to allow very thin final cuts or to individual add or remove particular cut depths.Ī separate last pass allowance can be specified for the last pass in a profile toolpath.

Sharp internal and external bevelled edges and cornersĬut-outs can be done in multiple passes depending on the maximum cutting depth of the tool used and a positive or negative allowance can be specified to either 'under cut' or 'overcut' the shape if required.

Profile around the outside / inside of open shapes.

Advanced ramp options for controlling how the cutter enters the material, reducing heat build-up and cutter wear.

Lead in / out and overcut distance to prevent dwell marks appearing on components.

3D tabs for smoother profiling plus advanced options for automatic positioning to hold parts in place when machining.Profile machining includes production cutting options that ensure parts can be held in place and accurately machined with high quality edges and corner detail.

Full control of cut direction is offered along with either automatic or manual control of tool entry point for each shape.

The profiling automatically offsets for the tool radius and sorts nested shapes to ensure that inner shapes such as the center of a letter 'O' are cut before the outer shape (so parts are not released from the material before they are cut). Simply select the vector shapes you wish to profile, select the tool from the tool database and the software will do the rest. Using the profiling toolpath strategy, objects can be cut out quickly and efficiently. Visit Design & Make here /to find out more. In addition to the free clipart, our sister company Design & Make has a variety of professionally created CNC ready clipart available to purchase.

The clipart tab is a great way to browse and select from the free clipart that is included with your purchase. You can 'drag & drop' a thumbnail into the 2D or 3D view and the selected object will be imported at the location of the dropped thumbnail and added to the model's component tree. The software gives you the choice of whether to display just the contents of the current folder or up to 3 sub-folders as well making it easy to access many models at once.

#CNC PLASMA ART FILES DOWNLOAD#

The software comes with previews of the clipart you're entitled to, and with internet access you can download the clipart straight into the software for ease of use. The clipart tab also allows you to access the online clipart that comes free with the software, where the clipart can be downloaded directly from the running software (providing you have internet access).

This tab includes the library browser that allows you to add folders containing 3D components into the software or you can use the local files option that allows you to quickly see the contents of several folders of 3D components in one place. This allows you to easily re-use previously created shapes in new projects. The clipart tab provides quick and convenient access to Vectric files containing 3D components or 2D vector artwork.
