Cutting software
27 January 2016
New from ESAB Welding & Cutting Products, Columbus CAD/CAM Nesting Software version 1.3, is a powerful CAD/CAM programming and nesting software optimised for plasma, oxy-fuel, laser and waterjet cutting.

This latest version of Columbus offers many new features and updates to make programming easier and more efficient, improve material utilisation, increase productivity, and streamline workflow. The most powerful function is the new Job Wizard, which automatically creates NC programs from customer orders.
For the parts and plates within a customer’s library that are marked for automatic process, Job Wizard can automatically nest all parts on the correct plates, as well as assign the best machine to cut the part based on strategy settings. For job shops, Job Wizard can perform these functions automatically within minutes after a customer releases the order, saving hours of time.
