All-in-One Machine & Production Control

Comprehensive Machine & Workshop Management: Almacam 2D serves as a single software solution to control all types of cutting machines (laser, plasma, oxy-cutting, waterjet, and combined) as well as punching and routing machines across all materials and equipment brands.

Smart Nesting & Material Cost Optimization

Advanced Nesting Algorithms to Maximize Material Savings: Powered by over 45 years of in-house algorithm development, it optimizes raw material usage and reduces waste through multi-strategy automatic nesting, common-cut optimization, nesting in remnants, and multi-head cutting.

End-to-End CAD/CAM Automation

End-to-End CAD/CAM Process Automation: With a single click, the system automates the entire workflow from 2D part design and 3D CAD file import (STEP, IGES, X_T) with automatic unfolding to nesting and NC code generation.

Cutting Quality & Safety Optimization

Optimized Toolpaths and Enhanced Part Quality: It boosts cutting quality and safety by optimizing tool trajectories to avoid heat concentration and collisions, while automatically managing corner acceleration/deceleration and preventing part tipping (e.g., via bridges and chain cutting).

Specialized Machining & System Integration

Specialized Machining Modules & System Integration: It features dedicated modules for punching (multi-tool management, turret modeling, palletizing) and routing/clipping (3D wood geometry recognition, multi-layer nests), while integrating seamlessly with upstream and downstream systems such as CAD, ERP, MES, and quotation tools.
