sheet metal cutting software

[mirko213]

Hello everyone,
I'm looking for a program possibly freeware that can nest me, I try to explain better: I have to cut some plates with a pantograph but I don't need a program that optimizes the positioning of the pieces, but that makes me the tool path and possibly can mark the pieces.
the most would be if it could start from microstation or autocad or rhino files, or generated by these programs and return me files in *.txt since the pantograph seems to work correctly only with these.
Thank you. .

Hi.
there are many plugins for rhino dedicated to the cam, for example we use some products of these gentlemen:http://www.cimsystem.com/prodotto_scheda.php?id=44http://www.mecsoft.com/products.shtmlLook if you find something that suits you.
and if you haven't already, obviously take a look here:http://www.rhino3d.com/resources/
