Large scale plasma cutting and shaping is usually computer controlled (CNC - Computer Numerical Control)). The metal to be cut is placed on the honeycomb bed / work table. A ground clamp is applied, which helps to form the necessary electrical circuit. The design / shape to be cut, is composed using CAD software and exported as a dxf file. It is this file that guides / controls the plasma cutting gun.
 
 
 
 
One advantage of a computer controlled system, is that it can repeatedly cut the same shape, if necessary hundreds or even thousands of times. This makes a CNC Plasma cutter ideal for batch production. Another advantage is that, the design can be altered or edited with ease, using the CAD software, allowing for variations of the original design, to be cut out repeatedly.
