SPECIFICS OF THE DESIGN FOR CNC PLASMA CUTTING

Abstract

This paper presents software which is used for new product development, planning, and realization of production in CNC plasma cutting. This software is described through the CAD, CAE, CAPP, and CAM systems. The paper analyzes the possibilities of the software systems, their communication, the selection of appropriate software, with the emphasis on modules and problems characteristic of the plasma cutting industry. Their use enables CNC cutting, whereby a number of presented advantages and novelties are implemented in the industry, compared to traditional plasma cutting.
