Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] 3D plasma/water-jet cutting

hi tom.

you have to have specific distance for plasma to cut somthing as the torch it is not the right solution for 3D, but for water jet yes 3D might work only to cut 30 to 90 degree shape by turning the Z axis front back right left.

the question is the software that can control the 4 side of Z axis movement

Hi,

I'm interested in plasma and/or water jet cutting on curved surfaces.
The shape (mostly circles) would be controlled by the XY plane and the
torch/nozzle normal to the XY plane (sort of a saddle-cut).

Has anyone tried this?

Can I control the torch to work distance accurately enough?

Does the plasma torch need to be so close to the work that the surface
curvature will interfere with it?

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Tom
