The NUMcad software package includes a post processor shapes or patterns that have been drawn or imported can be automatically converted into an executable G-code file for the CNC cutting machine. And in the event that the user does not have a DXF file, but has created the shape on the CNC cutting machine itself, NUMcad also allows this shape to be imported from their customizable parametric shapes library. If a user already has a CAD file and wishes to modify it, NUMcad allows AutoCad DXF files to be imported. Simple drawing tools are provided for functions such as Line, Polyline, Arc 2P and Arc Center-Radius and they are backed by a suite of editing tools such as Meet Two Lines, Shrink or Extend – and even Insert Micro-joint – which enables users to very easily customize and modify shapes. NUMcad is suitable for both design origination and design modification. Its user interface mimics that of many popular CAD packages and is highly intuitive, making it ideal for people with minimal design experience. Known as NUMcad, the new drawing software runs directly from the machine’s operator panel and also under Windows on any standard PC.
