Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: water jet cam

Hi John,

SheetCam is a CAM package so it takes your drawing, works out the
toolpaths, cut order etc then generates G-code for Mach to cut.

For instance say you draw a 1" square. You could load that drawing into
Mach and cut it but Mach would follow the lines exactly so the part
would come out undersized by the cutter diameter. SheetCam knows about
this so it would increase the size of the square to allow for the cutter
diameter. Your part would now come out exactly to size.
