Torchmate CAD has everything a CNC shape cutting machine owner could want.  No other program with similar features is available for under several thousand dollars.
 
Even if you already have a machine of a different manufacturer, if it will import dxf files, you can benefit from Torchmate CAD.

The above image shows a number of brackets before automatic nesting to fit them into the smallest area possible.  Move your mouse over the image to see the parts become nested.  Note the savings of almost 50% of the plate area.  The gap between the pieces and the border width are user definable.  Shapes can be placed inside the holes of other shapes, and flipped upside-down when necessary to fit them on the plate.
 
The positioning of the nested shapes can be specified.  Here, the upper left of the plate was selected.  The Torchmate CAD module will quickly pay for itself in time savings from this feature alone.
 
A Clip Art and Professional Text Compose Module is available to CAD Module owners, and can be added at any time.  For information and pricing on this option, click here.
