While shopping, my wife saw an expensive

metal table she liked. I offered to make her one,

but with my own design & style. Even with little

metalworking experience, I imported my sketch

and cut out the metal table - all in one piece and

with no other materials. The table came out just

how I imagined! Plus, several people want to

buy my table design. Now I can make my ideas into unique

& protable projects using the PlasmaCAM!

We used to cut everything by hand and had a lot

of trouble. Now our PlasmaCAMmachine does

it all, attaining levels of production not possible

before. Its the main piece of equipment in myshop and has run 40-50 hours a week for the past

three years.

Drawing up our own designs and scanning them into the computer

is extremely simple. Ive been totally impressed with this machi ne

ever since the day I bought it. It attains incredible detail, is very

easy and cost efcient to operate, and requires little maintenance.

The bottom line is: this machine makes me money!

Unlike conventional CNC

machines, PlasmaCAMmachine

is a complete, integrated cutting

system.

Traditional programming and

processing steps have been

eliminated and replaced with

a graphical interface, where you

work directly with the images you

want to cut.

design time is critical.

The software makes it super easy to

go from my ideas to quality-cut parts.

With art, the nal product is oftendifferent than the idea you start with.

The software gives you the freedom

to experiment. Its easy to change

things, like a font for a customer

who has a different preference. The

machine works amazingly well too.

Parts consistently come out just like

your drawings - precise and smooth.

BRANDT, CANYON HIGH SCHOOLwelding & vocational shop teacher

These days, vocational students really need CNC

experience. I get my students started with a simple thirty-

minute demo on the PlasmaCAMand turn them loose on

it. Its so easy to use, even our special education students

have no problems runni ng the machine. The kids spend

the rest of the semester testing what the machine is really

capable of. Besides playing a key

role in our shop program, our

PlasmaCAM has saved enough

money to pay for itself just by

making signage for our

school district!

The PlasmaCAM system

works well with fullsheets of metal or smaller

pieces, as shown here.


Nesting is easy with PlasmaCAM

The PlasmaCAMsystem works just as well for cutting geometric

parts as it does for cutting metal art.

All of the parts shown on this page were quickly drawn in PlasmaCAMs

DesignEdge software.

Mechanical Parts

In the past, hand cutting my metal parts

took time and they werent exact enough.

The front grill of my 1948 F-1 Ford street rodrequired each piece to be exactly the same to t together. I could only get this

level of precision by using the PlasmaCAMmachine.

also hovers a precise

distance over the

metal during cutting-

giving you the best

possible cut quality.
