If possible try get a look at WiCAM PN4000 cad cam software. They excel at laser functionality and can do anything you require. From dragging laser leads and burn-ins on the nest to stretching parts on the nest, scheduling etc. If you are using Trumpf they will easily support all Laser Tech Tables.
It is a complete 3d / 2D / NC package for all machines and types punching laser, waterjet etc.

Hi Their,

We recently purchase SigmaNest software. Excellent product and expandable with lots of options and add on's.
The CAD fetures are OK but the nesting and programing are superb.

We also purchased Rotary laser cutting software from them as well.

Just remember: All software sucks, trying to find the one that sucks the least is the trick.

Hi,

After 16 years of search for good CAD CAM package for Sheetmetal I found Pro-Engineer. I am using Pro-Engineering Foundation with NC Sheetmetal module for Turrent punch presses. This is truely integrated package I have ever seen for sheet metal fabrication. Design your sheet metal component, unfold it, tool it up (I am using for Turret Punch Press, can be used for laser too) and post-processing in one single environment. No DXF conversions necssary at all. Modification in design reflects in flat and subsiquently in NC file with very little efforts in retooling.
