What's the nesting software of CNC Machine?

As we know, different type cnc machine process the working depends on the design. But how to make the design? It need to be made in software. Now we introduce the popular software used for basic cnc router machine, plasma cutter and cnc wood lathe.

1. Software for basic wood cnc router

a) JD Paint

JD Paint is software ideal for relief programming. It is very popular in China. Technician here use it to create relief drawing. It's also convenient to edit a graph, especially a spline curve. 

2) ARTCAM

ArtCAM software is very popular worldwide. ArtCAM is especially suitable for sign production and processing, woodworking engraving design and processing, mold engraving, food industry art design, coin and badge production and processing and other fields. Processing is widely used in the fields of engraving, mold manufacturing, jewelry production, packaging design, medal and coin manufacturing, and sign making. 

Artcam can transfer the two-dimensional graphics into relief, also can create toolpath from the BMP file. 

3) Wentai (Art Cut)

It is mainly for the sign making industry. It is suitable for 2D engraving, especially for text, badge engraving, 2D cutting and engraving advertising words and some crystal words. It is limited for graphics editing, but can do simple graphics programming. 

2. Software for plasma cutting machine

a) Fastcam nesting software

FastCAM is a fully automatic common edge continuous cutting nesting software. This software is mainly aimed at CNC plasma cutting machines, plasma and flame cutting machine, used for drawing, programming, nesting, verification and CNC cutting of arbitrary shape parts.

b) Starcam nesting software

StarCAM is a very professional graphics drawing software for machine data processing. The software has three functional modules: nesting module, drawing module, and numerical control code simulation module. Users can use this module to complete drawing, editing, CAD, CAM conversion, compression, mark text and mark size, outline scaling and library management of parts. And so on.

3. Software for wood turning lathe

a) AutoCAD

Users of CNC woodworking lathes can easily design or survey any pattern of workpieces through CAD software, enter the corresponding length, diameter, and shape, and click on the drawing to preview the corresponding contour curve, which is the path of the lathe cutter.
