How Lapas helps your operation
Clean DXF export
Export nested layouts as a single DXF — load directly into Mach3, Mach4, LinuxCNC, SheetCAM, or any CAM software to generate toolpaths.
Thick material handling
Plasma cuts thick plate — set larger kerf widths (2–6mm) and minimum part spacing to prevent distortion.
Multi-sheet steel optimization
Nest across multiple 2500×1250mm or custom plate sizes. Automatically minimizes plate count needed.
PDF job sheet
Export a PDF report with sheet layout, utilization %, and part list — perfect for quoting steel material cost to customers.
Heavy part prioritization
Set part priority so critical or larger parts are placed first on fresh sheets, remnants used for smaller pieces.
Specifically built for this workflow
- DXF import handles the complex geometry plasma job nesting requires — thick parts, holes, flanges
- DXF export loads straight into SheetCAM, Mach3, LinuxCNC, or any CAM tool to generate your toolpaths
- Set minimum bridge distance between parts to prevent thin webs from warping during cutting
- PDF job sheet shows part layout, quantities, utilization — perfect for quoting steel material cost
- Works on any browser — use it from the office, open layout on the shop floor tablet
- No license dongle, no hardware lock — access from any machine on your network
