CAD/CAM programming and nesting software

May 23, 2014
ESAB Welding & Cutting Products' Columbus III version 1.2 CAD/CAM programming and nesting software is optimized for plasma, oxy-fuel, waterjet, and laser cutting.

ESAB Welding & Cutting Products' Columbus III version 1.2 CAD/CAM programming and nesting software is optimized for plasma, oxy-fuel, waterjet, and laser cutting. The software enables parts to be imported from an existing assembly without the need for customized import filters, and improves remnant creation by automatically optimizing the remnant cut geometry on the existing layout. Three new bridge configurations allow continuous cutting of external contours with a single pierce and provide links for bridges from part to part. The resulting part geometries feature negative shaped bridges, which simplify the removal of parts from the skeleton.
