SheetCAM TNG

SheetCAM TNG is an easy-to-use CAM software for generating G-code for CNC machines. Developed for hobbyists and professionals alike, SheetCAM TNG turns 2D drawings into toolpaths for plasma, laser, waterjet and oxy-fuel cutters as well as CNC routers and mills.

Features:

• Intuitive and easy-to-use interface: SheetCAM TNG is designed to be easy to learn and use. Parts, tools and operations are listed in side panels next to the drawing, which makes it simple to set up and operate your CAM software.

SheetCAM TNG allows users to quickly and easily generate G-code for CNC machines.

• Support for a wide range of CNC machines: SheetCAM TNG can generate G-code for a wide range of CNC machines and controllers, including plasma, laser and waterjet cutters, routers and mills, through configurable post processors.

• Cutting operations: SheetCAM TNG includes profiling, pocketing and drilling operations, with kerf compensation, lead-ins, ramp piercing, corner looping and multi-pass cutting.

• Support for multiple file formats: SheetCAM TNG imports DXF, SVG, HPGL, Excellon drill files and G-code.

• Automated programming: cutting rules apply operations to drawing layers automatically, allowing you to quickly and easily generate G-code for repeated jobs.

• Nesting: SheetCAM TNG includes manual nesting with flip and rotation, and an Auto Nesting module that places parts for better material utilization.

• Tool management: SheetCAM TNG includes a tool table, allowing you to easily manage your tooling and its cutting settings for different materials.

• Toolpath preview: a 3D view panel shows cutter paths, rapid moves and layers, allowing you to verify your toolpaths before running the job on your CNC machine.

• Support for multiple languages: the interface language can be changed in the application options.

• Modular design: optional modules such as Wire, V Carving, Drag Knife, Laser and Rotary Pipe Cutting are licensed separately, so you purchase only the features you need.

• Technical support: SheetCAM TNG users can get help through the SheetCam user forum, the online manuals and the support contact page.

• Licensing: the free download works as a demo that limits output to about 180 lines of G-code, and a license removes the limit. The current version adds an integrated 2D CAD module, and builds for Windows and Linux are available.
