What is V-CUT?
A modern, UK-developed touchscreen CNC control system used to operate Vector fibre lasers.
V-CUT handles:
-
Machine movement
-
Cutting parameters
-
Motion control
-
Real-time monitoring
-
Diagnostics & remote support
-
Material/technology databases
V-CUT is the operational “brain” of your fibre laser machine, controlling your machine operation and settings.
What is V-CAM?
V-CAM (European Developed) is used after a part has been designed and focuses on preparing that design for laser cutting.
Typical tasks include:
-
Importing DXF, DWG and other 2D CAD files
-
Cleaning and repairing geometry for reliable toolpath creation
-
Automatically or manually nesting parts on sheet material
-
Applying lead-ins, lead-outs and kerf compensation
-
Creating micro-joints / tabs where required
-
Generating optimised NC code for fibre laser cutting
-
Saving cutting programs ready for the V-CUT control system
This makes V-CAM ideal for fabrication shops, manufacturers and production environments working from customer-supplied drawings.

FAQ's
What is V-CUT?
V-CUT is a UK-designed touchscreen CNC laser control system used to operate Vector fibre laser cutting machines. It manages machine motion, cutting parameters, real-time monitoring and diagnostics during the cutting process.
What is V-CAM?
V-CAM is the CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing) component of the V-CUT software package. Based on Libellula, well known European software developer, it prepares existing CAD drawings for fibre laser cutting through nesting, geometry optimisation and NC code generation.
Is V-CAM a CAD design program?
No. V-CAM is not a full CAD design package. It does not replace CAD software such as AutoCAD, SolidWorks or Fusion. Instead, it is designed to import existing DXF or DWG files and prepare them for efficient laser cutting.
What file formats does V-CAM support?
V-CAM supports all common 2D CAD formats used in laser cutting, including DXF, DWG, AI, SVG and more.
Can V-CAM fix problems with CAD drawings?
Yes. V-CAM includes geometry analysis and repair tools that can automatically detect and correct common issues such as gaps, overlaps and duplicate entities to ensure clean toolpath generation.
Does V-CAM include automatic nesting?
Yes. V-CAM provides automatic and manual nesting tools to optimise sheet usage, reduce material waste and improve production efficiency.
How does V-CAM work with V-CUT?
V-CAM is used to prepare and optimise jobs, while V-CUT runs the machine. Once NC code is generated in V-CAM, it is loaded directly into V-CUT, where cutting parameters, motion control and execution are handled.
Does V-CUT improve cutting quality?
Yes. V-CUT uses advanced motion control algorithms, intelligent pierce control and smooth cut-path handling to improve edge quality, consistency and repeatability across a wide range of metals.
Is the software suitable for beginners?
Yes. While powerful enough for production environments, both V-CUT and V-CAM are designed to be intuitive and easy to learn, significantly reducing operator training time.
Is training provided?
Yes. Operator training is included as part of the system, covering job preparation, safe operation and best-practice cutting workflows.
Is V-CUT developed in the UK?
Yes. V-CUT is developed in the UK specifically for industrial fibre laser cutting for Western markets, with ongoing updates and support provided by the engineering team.
Does the software support remote diagnostics and updates?
Yes. V-CUT includes remote support capabilities, allowing diagnostics, troubleshooting and software updates without the need for on-site visits.
Which machines use V-CUT and V-CAM?
V-CUT and V-CAM are standard across the Vector fibre laser range from FL60 to FL130 with our larger machines in development.
