StarCAM Nesting & Cutting Software

StarCAM Software

StarCAM nesting and cutting software for laser, plasma and flame cutting. The installer is available from the download centre. Complete functionality Several nesting algorithms are provided — true-shape, rectangular envelope, common-cut and array — together with multiple nesting modes: single sheet, batch, duplicate, remnant, local fill and interactive. Integrated data management covers the part library, plate stock and statistics reports. Advanced technology Fully automatic high-speed optimisation raises material utilisation by 1% to 5%. Fully automatic intelligent common-line cutting offers several common-line methods and increases cutting efficiency by 10% to 50%. Simple to operate Basic operation is learned in ten minutes, and cutting code is produced in three. StarCAM carries fully independent intellectual property rights and is supported by a well-known university, which underpins responsive local service. Applications Nesting and programming for plasma, flame and laser cutting; plate processing centres and structural steel cutting; batch part scheduling and remnant management; and cost-based quotation where cost is calculated per part.

Key Features

  • Automatic nesting with rectangular, true-shape, array and priority strategies
  • Automatic common-line cutting reducing pierce count and nozzle wear
  • Automatic kerf compensation by material and plate thickness
  • Automatic lead-in and lead-out optimisation reducing arc-start defects
  • Remnant stock management that uses offcuts first
  • Post-processors matched to mainstream cutting controllers
  • Cutting-cost estimation for fast quotation

Typical Applications

  • Nesting for plasma, flame and laser cutting
  • Plate processing centres and structural steel cutting
  • Batch part scheduling and remnant management
  • Quoting where cost per part must be known

Selection & Setup Notes

The value of nesting software is directly calculable: at 500 t of plate a year and RMB 4 500/t, moving yield from 65% to 85% saves about RMB 450 000 of material annually. Installers and activation notes are in the Download Centre; matching controllers are in CNC controllers.

Standards & Further Reading

External reference: ISO 9013 — Thermal cutting classification — ISO 9013 defines the quality classes for thermal cut surfaces (perpendicularity, bevel, dross).

Frequently Asked Questions

Which file formats are supported?

2D drawings import via DWG / DXF; 3D models must be flattened or exported as 2D profiles.

Can I edit the nesting result manually?

Yes — drag, rotate, mirror and swap parts after nesting, with live before/after yield statistics.

Can it be used for quoting?

Yes — it estimates per-part arc time and consumable cost from path length and the process library, ready for quoting.
