CNC Plasma & Metal Cutting Software Solutions

Optimize sheet utilization, streamline shop floor scheduling, and maintain real-time telemetry with CAD/CAM and ERP software engineered in the UK since 1986.

35+ Years of Software Innovation

High-Yield CAD/CAM & Manufacturing Management Software

A CNC cutting machine delivers maximum ROI only when backed by purpose-built software. Developed by our in-house software division in Nottingham, UK, Esprit Automation software combines decades of practical cutting experience with direct CNC controller integration to eliminate material scrap, minimize downtime, and ensure weld-ready cut quality.

Integrated Machine & Software Intelligence

Why Proprietary OEM Software Outperforms Generic Post-Processors

Generic CAM post-processors often fail to exploit specific controller dynamics, resulting in conservative feed rates, improper torch height timing, and unnecessary consumable wear. Esprit software is coded alongside our hardware engineers to embed validated Hypertherm cut charts, arc-density controls, and corner-deceleration algorithms directly into the machine code.

  • ✓ True-Shape Automatic Nesting for 12% to 25% Sheet Yield Improvement
  • ✓ Direct Hypertherm EDGE Connect CNC & Cut Chart Synchronization
  • ✓ HVAC Ductwork Fitting Library with Autodesk CAMduct Integration
  • ✓ Live Telemetry & Remote Breakdown Diagnostics with IRIS Software

CNC Cutting Software Questions Answered

Software designed in-house by cutting machine engineers directly integrates verified Hypertherm cut charts, torch height control parameters, acceleration dynamics, and bevel compensations. This guarantees optimal cut edge quality, longer consumable life, and accurate cut-time estimates without reliance on generic post-processors.

Procut seamlessly imports standard 2D industrial formats including DXF, DWG, IGES, and NC files. It automatically repairs open contours, removes duplicate entities, and assigns lead-ins, lead-outs, and cut ordering according to material thickness and thermal distortion rules.

Advanced algorithms utilize true-shape automatic nesting to fit complex profiles tightly inside available sheet boundaries, minimizing scrap edge margins, utilizing remainder plates, and managing skeleton clearance. Fabricators typically increase plate yield by 12% to 25% compared to manual layout.

Yes. PROmanager ERP and Procut CAD/CAM can interface with established enterprise software (such as SAP, Tekla, or MS Dynamics) via automated CSV, XML, or SQL database sync, enabling seamless order import and material consumption feedback.

IRIS monitors live machine telemetry, I/O signals, system alarms, and operator performance over a secure internet connection. Our UK engineering team can diagnose system anomalies remotely, dispatch correct replacement parts, and guide operators without requiring an initial site diagnostic visit.
