Sound familiar?

The table was the easy part. Then came the design program, the CAM program, the nesting program, the post-processor, and months of YouTube videos and forum posts to make your table cut a single thing.

Draw it in one, set up toolpaths in another, nest it in a third, then hope the file your table needs comes out the other end. Now you only need one!

Post-processor errors, DXFs that come in broken, doubled lines that get cut twice. You find out at the table. Solved at the drawing phase.

this is the faster and simpler way

Cut File Studio does the design, the checking, the nesting and the cut file in one place. It's made only for cutting metal, so every tool you see is one you'll use.

No screen full of buttons you'll never use.

Start from a frame, add a name, drop in artwork, or draw a bracket in the simple CAD.
​

Program 1

Everything you need to make signs, word art, name plates, monograms and wall art, built for metal cutting. Check your drawing automatically for drop outs and fix them with one simple click of the mouse. No more letter bridging by hand, it does it for you.
​
​A built-in file library for sign design. Add your desired frame, add your text, add your desired elements and hit weld them together and you're done! Send it and cut it immediately.

Fixes: Hunting the internet for clean cut files.

Ready-to-cut sets of deer, eagles, trees, mountains, moons, clouds and more. Search every set at once, or connect your own artwork folder and search that too.

Fixes: Building split-letter monograms from scratch.

Split-letter monogram sets, A to Z, free and built in.

Fixes: Letter centers that fall out.

Finds every loose center and bridges it with a strip at least 1/8 in wide, placed the way a fabricator would place it.

Fixes: Trying to draw something by hand with hours of tracing and drawing with a pen tool or Bezier tool.

Turn a picture into a cuttable file in less than a second. Uses the best tracing engine available!

Fixes: Files that come in broken or doubled.

Opens SVG and DXF files at their real size, closes small gaps, and removes lines drawn twice so they don't get cut twice.

Fixes: Parts that come out the wrong size.

Click a side, type the number, and the part follows. Works in inches (decimals or fractions down to 1/64), centimeters or millimeters.

Fixes: Laying out holes one by one.

Bolt circles, rows, grids, holes around the edge, or fill a whole plate. Change the count and every hole moves.

Fixes: Shapes that aren't just boxes.

Lines, center-point arcs, tangent arcs and 3-point arcs, plus rectangles, circles, polygons, stars and triangles.

Fixes: Wondering if you've set every size.

Lines turn black once they're defined by your numbers, and the app shows you what still needs a size before you download your sketch.

Program 3

Get more parts out of every sheet. Tell it how many of each, and it packs them tight and gets the file ready to cut.

Fixes: Placing parts by hand one by one and wasting metal.

Tries thousands of layouts, turns parts to fit, and even puts small parts inside the holes of bigger ones. Move any part by hand when you want.

Fixes: Offcuts nobody pays attention to or takes the time to add in.

Shows the leftover pieces worth keeping, remembers them, and lets you nest on them next time. It can also cut the scrap into neat rectangles for easy storage.

Fixes: SheetCam setup and post-processor errors.

Download a .nc file for Langmuir tables, written for Langmuir's own FireControl software, with height sensing, pierce delay and torch height control set.

Fixes: Cutters with no chart at all.

Cut a test coupon at several speeds, pick the cleanest, and save it as your personal cut settings.

Fixes: Divots, bevels and parts cut undersize.

Straight or curved lead-ins and lead-outs, start at a corner, and the cut width is allowed for so parts come out the right size.

Fixes: Machines that aren't on the list yet.

Download a DXF or SVG at true size for SheetCam or any other cutting software. Then tell us your machine and we'll add it.

Before and after

Who it's for

Go from unboxing to your first good cut without a stack of software and a winter of tutorials. Cut something the same day!

“I am fairly new to the CNC Plasma world and purchased a Langmuir Crossfire Pro. I am a retired Millwright / Machinist and always enjoyed tinkering with making things. Cnc was never my calling as I was more a hands on fix it guy. I was making progress using Inkscape and Sheetcam using YouTube as my teacher. Charles from Tin Man Metal Works had some great videos and it made the learning curve a whole lot easier. Then I get an email about a new program called Cut File Studio and I just had to give it a go as the YouTube video claims is “This is simply CRAZY” …. Well after trying it and being skeptical about how easy bridging letters was suppose to be as I struggled to grasp the bridging in Inkscape I was amazed at how simple and quick it was. This program will open up so many opportunities for making signs and new artwork. From the design page straight to the plasma table without having to transfer files from program to program. This is a GAME CHANGER. Thanks Charles for all your insight.”
