Revolutionize your
metalworking business
today with PlasmaCAM !

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
& profitable projects using the PlasmaCAM !

We used to cut everything by hand and had a lot

of trouble. Now our PlasmaCAM machine does
it all, attaining levels of production not possible
before. Its the main piece of equipment in my
shop 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 machine
ever since the day I bought it. It attains incredible detail, is very
easy and cost efficient to operate, and requires little maintenance.
The bottom line is: this machine makes me money!

Make geometric and artistic parts the

easy way with PlasmaCAM!
We do custom
work and use
PlasmaCAM for
most of it. Every
project is unique, so
design time is critical.
The software makes it super easy to
go from my ideas to quality-cut parts.
With art, the final product is often
different 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.
Its great to bring into the world ideas
from your imagination, made of
something as lasting as metal.

metal art, fixtures & signs

Create fantastic custom signs featuring school mascots,

company logos, names and addresses, and much more!

Hundreds of Schools use PlasmaCAM

machines in their shop classes
These days, vocational students really need CNC
experience. I get my students started with a simple thirtyminute demo on the PlasmaCAM and turn them loose on
it. Its so easy to use, even our special education students
have no problems running 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!

Mechanical Parts

Materials & Sizes

Nesting is easy with PlasmaCAM

Virtually any metal can be plasma cut including: steel (fleur-de-lis and round slug), stainless steel (control panel and fan
bracket), aluminum (drain grate), brass (seahorse), copper, galvanized, etc.

The PlasmaCAM system 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.

DENNIS WHEELER,

fabricator & hot rod enthusiast

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 rod
required each piece to be exactly the same to fit together. I could only get this
level of precision by using the PlasmaCAM machine.
10

The PlasmaCAM system

works well with full
sheets of metal or smaller
pieces, as shown here.

The machine plasma cuts precise and intricate flat shapes ranging in size from inch to 20 feet.
Any thickness from 30 gauge through 1 inch can be cut, depending on your plasma cutter.

Besides plasma cutting metal, the machine can be

configured for other applications - if needed.
Some of our customers put various tools
in their machines including routers,

Both the plasma-cut metal

scene and the router-cut wood base
of this coat rack were made on the machine.

Height Control,
gives you optimum
cutting performance,
especially when the
height of the material
varies. The torch
raises and lowers
between cuts, senses
the material, and
avoids collisions. It
also hovers a precise
distance over the
metal during cuttinggiving you the best
possible cut quality.

You can add custom lettering to your

designs using TrueType fonts.
You can draw precise geometric shapes and/or
modify designs with ease.

In less than one hour, this hand-drawn art scene was

scanned, prepared for cutting by the DesignEdge
