Plasma and Gas Cutting Software

Plasma and gas cutting software ensures precise metal cutting. It takes your 2D and 3D computer-aided designs (CAD) and turns them into detailed toolpaths that plasma and oxy-fuel torches can follow, cutting materials like mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum with consistent accuracy. Fabricators, structural steel shops and custom part manufacturers use it to reduce waste and improve cut quality.

Features like intelligent nesting, lead-in control, pierce management and kerf compensation ensure every cut is clean and cost-effective, keeping production running smoothly. PEP Technology — a trusted, automated solution developed over four decades, maximizes the benefits of plasma and gas cutting software. PEP Technology simplifies complex nesting and programming while integrating seamlessly with your existing CAD and enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems.

What Are the Benefits?

PEP Technology simplifies every stage of the plasma and gas cutting workflow — from CAD import to finished part for the highest output in the least time. It’s built for scale with fast processing and automation with preloaded, proven cut parameters for various machines and materials, so you don’t have to tune settings from scratch. It also means less operator input and more consistent results, even in high-volume and multi-machine environments.

Automated tool pathing, nesting and quoting reduce labor demands and improve turnaround times without sacrificing quality. Here are more reasons fabrication shops, original equipment manufacturers (OEM) and service centers trust it to boost output, minimize manual work and keep production running smoothly:

PEP Technology is purpose-built to elevate every stage of the plasma and gas cutting process—from CAD import to finished part. With decades of real-world implementation across fabrication shops, OEMs, and service centers, PEP offers unmatched performance, automation, and reliability. Here’s why leading manufacturers trust PEP:

Leverage PEP’s optional Bullet Quote™ module for quick, accurate job costing. It integrates with nesting data for seamless quoting, including material, pierce count and machine time to improve sales and profitability.

PEP Technology’s automatic nesting engine automatically places parts with tight spacing to reduce waste and raw material costs. The smart rotation and grain direction control accelerate turnaround times and ensure precision.

Depending on the thickness of the material, PEP dynamically adjusts cut speeds, pierce heights, ramping, preheat sequences and torch-off commands to ensure clean edges and avoid rework.

PEP supports many machine controllers and torch manufacturers. Since post-processors are customizable, your cutting tables run as programmed.

This CAD/CAM software for plasma cutting streamlines work by integrating design, tooling and CNC code generation into one system where you can import 2D and 3D CAD files, apply cut logic and generate optimized G-code in just a few clicks.

Clients consistently experience high ROI due to faster job setup, less waste and higher machine utilization. The software covers costs through efficient gains by eliminating inefficiencies and maximizing CNC automation.
