Plasma Cutting

Documentation on improvements in Plasma parameters - new!

Several plasma cutting improvements were deployed in the 2024.3 release.

  • Kerf correction:
    Enables users to adjust the size of a hole by modifying the offset of the plasma beam.

  • Improvements to chaining:
    Open wireframe chains now supported for window chaining.

  • Manual override of plasma algorithm:
    Select faces in case the algorithm fails and refresh selection.

  • Enhanced warning messages:
    Several new messages to guide the user when projection fails.

Enhancements / Fixed Bugs

  • RM-849 As a user, I wish to window-select my open curves for Curve Path creation for Plasma Marking to automatically manage both closed contours and open contours

  • RM-851 Enable kerf correction to compensate the path without affecting the generated tool diameter

  • RM-852 Make the manual touch direction reference frame visible so that the user can understand the touch direction reference being used

  • RM-853 As a user, I want to be notified the path projection failed and why it failed

  • RM-872 Wrong Default value in Plasma Cutting blocks user from resetting defaults to original values

  • RM-848 Wrong projection when using Curve Path if the curve is directly on the surface

  • RM-850 Negative path offset leads to path projection issues with incorrect projection depth

  • RM-854 Improve algorithm to find holes on certain domes

  • No labels
