Product
Advanced CAD/CAM for waterjet cutting—from material-specific cutting technology and optimized nesting to multi-head processing and machine-ready NC programs.
Almacam for Waterjet is a specialized CAD/CAM solution for programming CNC waterjet cutting machines. It combines advanced nesting with waterjet-specific technology to efficiently program both abrasive and pure-water cutting applications.
Designed for companies processing metals and a wide variety of non-metallic materials, Almacam helps programmers manage cutting parameters, piercing strategies, speed variations, multi-head configurations and machine-specific requirements while maximizing material utilization. It supports both high-volume nested production and individual precision parts.
Key features
Automatically configure cutting parameters and lead-ins/outs according to material and thickness. Manage waterjet-specific operations including piercing, speed variation, pre-drilling and continuous cutting strategies.
Automatically adjust cutting speed according to material, thickness, geometry and required quality. Reduce speed at corners and small radii to improve cut quality and limit waterjet diffraction.
Optimize material utilization with automatic nesting, remnant reuse, common cutting and multi-head nesting. Control multi-head cutting automatically or manually according to machine configuration.
Reduce cycle time and consumable usage through optimized toolpaths, continuous cutting with bridges, reduced piercing and automatic control of abrasive dosage and water pressure.
Benefits
Use cases

FAQ
Common Questions
Almacam adapts cutting conditions and speed according to the material, thickness, geometry and required quality, helping balance edge quality with cutting time.
Yes. Almacam manages speed reduction and acceleration according to geometry to improve accuracy and cutting quality, particularly around corners and small radii.
Almacam optimizes toolpaths and supports strategies such as continuous cutting and bridges to reduce unnecessary piercing operations and shorten overall cutting cycles.
