JON, CASH METALS
lighting, furniture & xtures
We used to cut everything by hand and had a
lot of trouble. Now our PlasmaCAM machine
does it all, attaining levels of production not
possible before. Its the main piece of equipment
in my shop and has run 40-50 hours a week for
the past three years.
Drawing up our own designs and scanning them
into the computer is extremely simple. Ive been
totally impressed with this machine ever since
the day I bought it. It attains incredible detail,
is very easy and cost effcient to operate, and
requires little maintenance. The bottom line is:
this machine makes me money!
JIM, CUSTOM TURBO ENGINEERING
turbochargers & related components
PlasmaCAM is a well thought-out tool. The
software is incredible; its intuitive and easy
to use. I can quickly go from concept to a
fnished part. As a fabricator, I appreciate the
clean design of the machine itself. I dont think
theres a better bang for your buck. I havent
seen anything we cant do with this machine.
Its saved us so much time and effort, its just
incredible!
DAN, IZ DESIGN
metal art, xtures, signs
We do custom work and use PlasmaCAM for
most of it. Every project is unique, so design
time is critical. The software makes it super
easy to go from my ideas to quality-cut parts.
With art, the fnal product is often different
than the idea you start with. The software
gives you the freedom to experiment. Its easy
to change things, like a font for a customer who
has a different preference. The machine works
amazingly well too. Parts consistently come
out just like your drawings - precise and
smooth.
Its great to bring into the world ideas from
your imagination, made of something as lasting
as metal.
