CNC Plasma Process

Step 1:
Your first step is to create the desired shape or shapes on your computer in any of a number of ways:

1. Thousands of clip art files are available that can quickly be converted within our software for cutting. These shapes are in the public domain, and can be used commercially with no royalties necessary.

2. Drawn shapes can be quickly scanned and converted within our software for cutting.

3. Shapes created in other drawing programs can be imported into the Torchmate software and converted for cutting.

4. Shapes can be drawn directly within the Torchmate software.

Above: Here an owl shaped drawing was scanned and then converted into a vector image with the Torchmate software. It was then automatically duplicated and nested to fill a 4' x 4' plate. This was done in less than 5 minutes.

The finished owls measure approximately 8" x 8", and sell wholesale to dealers for $20 each. The entire run of 33 owls was completed in one hour, at a cost $1.75 each in steel and plasma torch consumables. That comes to $602 profit for an hour's work.
