2D CAM and Nesting Software
From CAD import to optimized nesting and machine-ready laser programs.
Almacam for Laser is an advanced CAD/CAM solution for programming CNC laser cutting machines. It brings CAD import, automatic part preparation, laser technology, nesting and NC programming together in one integrated environment.
Designed for sheet metal manufacturers, laser job shops and fabrication companies, Almacam for Laser helps programmers prepare parts faster, optimize sheet utilization and generate reliable machine-ready programs. It supports the complete workflow from customer CAD files and production orders to optimized nests and NC code, while preserving machine-specific cutting technology and programming know-how.
Key features
Import 2D drawings and 3D CAD models, automatically prepare part geometry, detect contours and identify manufacturing features. Almacam helps reduce manual drawing cleanup and prepares parts efficiently for laser programming.
Use Alma’s advanced true-shape nesting algorithms to automatically arrange parts for maximum sheet utilization. Combine multiple orders and quantities, manage rotation and spacing rules, and reuse available remnants to reduce material waste.
