Esab Automation's new powerful offline drawing, editing and nesting software for CNC profiling machines is ideal for all sizes of fabricators. It allows drawing, nesting and cutting operations to be performed quickly offline, without fuss. Interactive nesting for improved plate utilisation is offered together with cutter path definition, marking tool definition and post processing for all CNC controls.

Using this software, the operator can develop just about anything for plate and sheet fabrication including 2D and 3D DXF and marking, forming and costing details.

The software also offers a range of productivity options.

The profile quoter defines shape, specifies plate/process details, nests and calculates the cost.

The scanned outline facility converts scanned images into vectored outlines ready to cut.

It supports BMP, TIF and other formats and can output DXF and CAM files.

The font generator turns windows text into NC code, whilst the 3D development option ensures fast and simple plate development.

Other options include a remnant plate tracer which is a unique graphic remnant tracing software.

It is very simple to operate either stand-alone or as part of an integrated system.

The automatic nesting feature maximises plate usage, optimises machine time and minimises programming time.
