컨트롤러 설정하기

컨트롤러용 DXF의 모습, CypCut 또는 FSCUT에서 Zorocut 레이어를 한 번만 매핑하는 방법, SheetCAM을 거치는 플라즈마 경로.

  1. Export DXF for CypCut and FSCUT: map the layers onceWhat a controller-ready DXF for CypCut, CypCutE and FSCUT looks like — R2000, mm, lines, arcs and circles on fixed layers — and how to map Zorocut's ZC_ layers to CypCut layers once.시작하기 · 6 분
  2. CypCut nesting tutorial: the built-in nest step by step, and where it stopsHow to nest parts in CypCut's built-in nest — parts library, plates, part gap, co-edge, arrays and sorting — from the CypCut v6.5 manual, and the limits (50 part types, 20 plates, array only) that tell you when a separate nester pays.네스팅 · 7 분
  3. Lead-in and lead-out for laser and plasma: types, length and placementWhy every contour starts with a lead, line or arc, how long (about the plate thickness on plasma near its pierce limit), where to put it, overcut and gap — the CypCut, CypNest, SheetCAM and Hypertherm settings, and why the part spacing must leave room.시작하기 · 6 분
  4. Micro-joints and tabs in laser cutting: why, how big and where to put themWhat micro-joints prevent, the sizes shops publish (0.1–1 mm), how CypCut and CypNest add them by click, count, distance or line, where to place them, what removal costs — and why Zorocut leaves them to the controller.시작하기 · 6 분
  5. Plasma tables: from Zorocut's DXF to SheetCAM, FireControl, Mach3 or LinuxCNCLangmuir FireControl and other hobby-class plasma controllers run G-code, not DXF. The route is Zorocut DXF → SheetCAM, one operation per layer → post-processor → controller, with Hypertherm chart values for speed and pierce delay.시작하기 · 6 분

깨끗한 첫 네스팅

CAD에서 깔끔하게 가져와지는 도면, 올바른 크기로 들어오는 단위, 부품 사이 간격, 공통 절단선이 이득이 되는 경우.

  1. Clean DXF from AutoCAD, Fusion, SolidWorks and Inkscape: what breaks and how to export itOpen contours, splines, bend lines, mirrored arcs and unitless files: the problems each CAD program leaves in a DXF for laser cutting, and the export settings that avoid them.DXF 파일 · 7 분
  2. DXF units: mm or inch, and why parts come in 25.4× too big or too smallA DXF stores plain numbers; its unit lives in the $INSUNITS header, which is often 0 or missing. How to spot a unit error before it reaches the quote or the machine, and how to fix it.DXF 파일 · 5 분
  3. Open contours in a DXF: why the laser won't cut the part, and how to close themAn open contour has ends that do not meet, so it has no inside and no outside and the controller will not cut it as a part. Where the gaps come from, how to find them, when an auto-join tolerance is safe, and what Zorocut's pre-cut check reports.DXF 파일 · 6 분
  4. Cleaning a customer DXF: dimensions, title blocks, bend lines and everything else that must not be cutCustomer files are often drawings, not cut files: dimensions, a frame and title block, notes, bend lines, hidden and centre lines, duplicates and stray points. What each one does at the machine, what Zorocut leaves out by itself, and how to choose the layers that get cut.DXF 파일 · 7 분
  5. Splines, polylines and arcs in a DXF: why curves turn into thousands of short linesThe same curve can be an ARC, a polyline bulge, a SPLINE, an ELLIPSE or hundreds of short lines. What each one stores, why true arcs cut better, what CypCut, SheetCAM and Zorocut do with the others, and which export settings keep arcs as arcs.DXF 파일 · 7 분
  6. Text in a DXF for laser cutting: cut, mark or engrave — and why TEXT is not cutA DXF TEXT entity stores a string and a font name, not the letter shapes. How to turn text into outlines, when to cut, mark or engrave it, why cut-through letters need bridges or a stencil font, and what Zorocut and CypCut do with text layers.DXF 파일 · 6 분
  7. SVG to DXF for laser cutting: sizes, curves, fills and strokes from Inkscape, Illustrator and CorelDRAWVector art becomes a cut file when every shape is a closed path at the right size and text, strokes, clips and images are dealt with. Why SVG sizes come in at 75 % or 133 %, what Zorocut reads from an SVG directly, and what to fix in the art first.DXF 파일 · 7 분
  8. Part spacing for laser cutting: how much gap to leave between partsStart with a gap of 3 mm or the sheet thickness, whichever is larger, then adjust for kerf, heat and tip-up. What the spacing does, how the kerf eats into it, and how it changes the quote.네스팅 · 5 분
  9. True-shape vs rectangular nesting: what the box around each part costsRectangular nesting packs the box around each part; true-shape nesting packs the real outline. On rectangles they are the same; on brackets, rings and irregular parts the boxes alone capped our test jobs at 60–68 %, while a true-shape nest reached 71–76 %.네스팅 · 6 분
  10. Part-in-part nesting: cutting small parts from the holes of large onesPart-in-part nesting cuts small parts from the slugs of large holes. When it pays, how big the hole must be, why the small part is cut first, the heat and tip-up risks, and what CypCut, CypNest and Zorocut do.네스팅 · 6 분
  11. Sheet utilisation: how to measure nesting yield and how to raise itUtilisation is the part area divided by the sheet you count as used — whole sheets, used length, or sheets minus the offcut you keep. What the figures mean, why one nest can read 64 % or 80 %, and five ways to raise it.네스팅 · 6 분
  12. Common-line cutting: when sharing an edge pays, and why Zorocut leaves it to the controllerCutting two parts along one shared line saves pierces and cut length on arrays of identical straight-edged parts. How CypNest, ProNest and PrimeCut do it, where it is risky, and why the DXF should still keep a gap.네스팅 · 5 분

속도와 피어싱

재료, 두께, 출력별 기본 절단 속도와 피어싱마다 시간과 비용이 드는 이유.

  1. Fiber laser cutting speed chart: mild steel, stainless and aluminium by powerPublished fiber laser cutting speeds in m/min at 1 kW, 3 kW and 6 kW from the Raycus and IPG tables, plasma for comparison — and why the charts disagree by up to 2× and you should build your own.속도와 재료 · 6 분
  2. Pierce time by thickness, and why every pierce costs moneyFiber pierce times from 0.1 s on thin sheet to 9 s at 20 mm, plasma pierce delays from the Hypertherm chart, what each pierce adds to a quote, and practical ways to need fewer of them.속도와 재료 · 5 분
  3. Kerf width for fiber laser and plasma: chart by thickness and amperagePlasma kerf from Hypertherm's Powermax cut charts (1.3–3.8 mm), what published sources say about fiber laser kerf, where kerf compensation is set in CypCut, CypNest and SheetCAM, and what the kerf does to part spacing.속도와 재료 · 6 분
  4. Assist gas for fiber laser cutting: oxygen vs nitrogen vs compressed airOxygen for mild steel, nitrogen for clean stainless and aluminium edges, compressed air as the cheap middle: the pressures and speeds in a published 3 kW table, measured nitrogen consumption, what each gas does to the edge, and how to put gas into a quote.속도와 재료 · 7 분
  5. Minimum hole size for laser and plasma cutting, by thicknessThe smallest hole a fiber laser cuts cleanly (half to the full thickness, from SendCutSend and LaserBoost), why plasma holes need one to two times the thickness for bolt quality, and what to tell the customer about smaller holes.속도와 재료 · 6 분

작업 가격 매기기

기계 시간, 미터당·피어싱당 단가, 네스팅 후 남는 자투리의 활용.

  1. How to price laser cutting: machine time, per metre and per pierceA laser cutting price is material plus machine time plus a share of setup. The formula, the starting values and a worked example: 100 plates of 3 mm mild steel at €90 an hour come to about €1.02 each.견적 · 7 분
  2. Laser cutting price per metre, per minute, per hour or per kg: which unit, and how to convertThe five ways shops quote cutting — per machine hour, per minute, per metre plus per pierce, per kg and per part — when each one is fair, the formulas that turn one into another, and one shop's published rates in every unit.견적 · 6 분
  3. How to work out your laser cutting machine's hourly rateA machine-hour rate is the year's fixed costs divided by the hours you can bill, plus what each hour of cutting uses up: power, gas, consumables and the operator. The inputs with their sources, and a worked example for a 3 kW fiber laser.견적 · 6 분
  4. How to count pierces and measure cut length from a DXFOne pierce per closed contour — the outline plus every hole — and the cut length is the perimeter of all of them added up. How each DXF entity is measured, what to clean first, what the drawing leaves out, and what Zorocut's DXF checker reports.견적 · 5 분
  5. How to charge for material in a sheet-metal quoteMaterial is weight × price per kg × markup, and weight is area × thickness × density. Which area to bill — the part's rectangle, its share of the nested sheet or whole sheets — how much shops mark up, and who owns the offcut.견적 · 6 분
  6. How to price plasma cutting: per inch, per pierce, material and setupHow small plasma shops price: material × 1.25–2, $0.10–0.33 per inch of cut, about $0.15 per pierce, drawing time and a minimum. What an inch and a pierce really cost you, from Hypertherm's cut chart and a consumable kit price, with a worked example.견적 · 7 분
  7. Laser cutting quote template: what a laser or plasma quote should containThe fields every laser or plasma cutting quote needs — parts, material and thickness, quantity, unit and line prices, setup fee, minimum order, lead time, validity and the assumptions behind the price — with a template, an example and the fees other shops publish.견적 · 6 분
  8. Remnants: keep, label and reuse sheet-metal offcutsHow to leave a usable offcut instead of scrap, which strips are worth keeping, how to nest the next job on them first, and how to bill the material fairly.네스팅 · 5 분

용어집

네스팅과 견적의 용어를 한 줄씩 설명합니다.

네스팅
재료를 최대한 적게 쓰도록 판재 위에 부품을 배치하는 작업. 실형상 네스팅은 부품의 외곽 사각형이 아니라 실제 윤곽을 따릅니다.
부품 속 부품
작은 부품을 큰 부품의 구멍 안에 배치해, 구멍 부분의 재료를 폐기물이 아니라 부품으로 절단하는 방식.
부품 간격
판재 위에서 두 부품 사이에 두는 간격. Zorocut은 그려진 윤곽 사이의 거리를 재며, 0이 되지 않게 합니다.
가장자리 여백
판재 가장자리를 따라 비워 두는 띠. 가장자리는 직각이 아닌 경우가 많고 클램프가 물리는 곳입니다. Zorocut은 10 mm부터 시작합니다.
커프
빔이나 아크가 제거하는 재료의 폭. 플라즈마 커프는 넓습니다(Powermax45 XP 기준 1.4–2.1 mm). DXF가 아니라 컨트롤러나 CAM이 보정합니다.
리드인
피어싱 지점에서 윤곽까지 이어지는 짧은 경로로, 피어싱 자국이 부품에 남지 않게 합니다. 컨트롤러나 CAM에서 추가하며 Zorocut은 추가하지 않습니다.
마이크로조인트
부품을 떼어낼 때까지 판재에 붙들어 두는 아주 작은 미절단 연결부. 이것도 컨트롤러에서 추가합니다.
피어싱
빔이나 아크가 윤곽을 절단하기 전에 뚫는 구멍. 피어싱마다 시간이 들고 소모품이 닳기 때문에 견적에 포함합니다.
공통선 절단
두 부품이 절단 가장자리를 하나 공유해 한 번만 절단하는 방식. 절단 한 번을 아끼지만 주의가 필요하며, Zorocut은 컨트롤러의 공통변 도구에 맡깁니다.
잔재
보관할 만큼 큰 자투리. 재료, 두께, 크기를 표시해 두면 같은 재료의 다음 작업에서 가장 먼저 네스팅됩니다.
절단 전 점검
DXF가 기계에 도착하기 전에 하는 점검: 열린 윤곽, 중복선, 단위, 아주 작은 형상, 판재 밖으로 나간 부품.
이용률
부품이 판재에서 차지하는 비율. 벤치마크에서는 밀도라고도 부르며, 실제 판재의 수치는 간격과 여백에도 좌우됩니다.
컨트롤러
기계의 제어 소프트웨어. CypCut, CypCutE, Phoenix, 또는 SheetCAM 뒤의 G-code 컨트롤러 등. DXF를 가져와 리드인을 추가하고 기계를 구동합니다.
$INSUNITS
도면의 단위를 알려 주는 DXF 헤더 값. 값이 없거나 틀리면 부품이 25.4배 크게 또는 작게 들어옵니다.
