PlasmaCam Disc

Post by crazy59860 »

Does any one know if the art disc's that plasma cam sells will work with other systems? We have a Tracker Nitro table and use their Command and Cut software.
Thanks......

I would check with them to see if the art is in dxf format, then it would be compatible with almost any system for importing. If the art if strictly in Plasma CAM's .pcm format then it is not.
There are others out there that sell art work for cutting. Check out Sign Torch or Cascade Metal Designs and others.

The Plasmacam art discs are the Plasmacam pcm format.

Can you load the files into the older version of Plasma Cam and export them as dxf files?

Hi Toni

I would suggest looking towards Cascade Metal Designs for your art files since the PlasmaCam files are proprietary to thier systems. Your Nitro onboard computer comes loaded with hundreds of designs from Cascade that are ready to cut and and you can purchase others from Cascade also. If you purchased your Nitro system second hand it may no longer have the files on the PC in which case we can send them to you. For more art files from Cascade please use this link http://www.customdxffiles.com/

Thank you Reid, we have purchased from Cascade and Sign Torch but there were a couple of files I really liked on the plasma cam disc. I am new at this but am getting better at the design end of it now. I still have a lot to learn and am so thankful to everyone on this site for all the knowledge they provide.

No problem at all. If there is a design you want to create but having difficulty with, just fax or email me the image, give us a call, and we can show you how to accomplish what you need. Have a great week.
