V-CUT & V-CAM Fibre Laser Software

V-CUT is the operational “brain” of your fibre laser machine, controlling your machine operation and settings.

V-CAM (European Developed) is used after a part has been designed and focuses on preparing that design for laser cutting.

From drawing to cut

How V-CUT and V-CAM Work Together

As a dedicated laser CAM software, V-CAM provides all the tools required to take CAD drawings and turn them into efficient fibre laser cutting programs. Combined with the V-CUT control system, it delivers a complete, reliable and industrial-grade workflow - from file import to finished cut.

  1. 01

    1. Design / Import

    User imports drawing into V-CAM.

  2. 02

    2. Nest & Optimise

    Files are imported, cleaned, nested and optimised for laser cutting.

  3. 03

    3. Generate NC Code

    V-CAM creates efficient cutting programs with correct parameters.

  4. 04

    4. Send to V-CUT

    The NC file is loaded into V-CUT, where the machine executes the cut using advanced motion control and optimisation.

  5. 05

    5. Cut with Precision

    V-CUT handles real-time motion, pierce timing and cut quality.

Operator questions

FAQ's

01

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.

02

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.

03

Is V-CAM a CAD design package?

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.

04

Which CAD 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.

05

Can V-CAM repair drawing geometry?

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.

06

Does V-CAM include nesting tools?

Yes. V-CAM provides automatic and manual nesting tools to optimise sheet usage, reduce material waste and improve production efficiency.

07

How do V-CAM and V-CUT work together?

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.

08

Does V-CUT improve cut 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.

09

Is the software easy for operators to learn?

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.

10

Is operator training included?

Yes. Operator training is included as part of the system, covering job preparation, safe operation and best-practice cutting workflows.

11

Is V-CUT developed and supported 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.

12

Does V-CUT include remote support?

Yes. V-CUT includes remote support capabilities, allowing diagnostics, troubleshooting and software updates without the need for on-site visits.
