    Mastercam and CNC PLasma Cutting

    Is anyone using this? Are there additional modules necessary for mastercam do do this? Excuse me if this is stupid, I am new to the whole thing, and trying to figure out what to buy.

    There is not a software just for Plasma from mastercam ,but I do know some do use it for this by setting up the post for the right outputs.

    Hope this helps

    I know a shop that they are using a mill level 2 package to program a waterjet machine, they post a mill prog and edit a few lines and bingo, they were working on editing a post that wouldnt need modified even though it was a quick process, I gotta think a plasma cutter should be similar but maybe not I never seen one that was cnc.Just my .02

    Like Mold100 stated I have programmed Water Jets in the past they are cool.
    But it was all in the post .I made some change and all was good.
