You can draw a layout for laser pipe cutting using various software applications designed for this purpose, such as AutoCAD, SolidWorks and Inventor.
Below are the general steps to follow to draw a layout for laser tube cutting:
- Start by creating a 2D or 3D model of the pipe you want to cut, including all necessary measurements and specifications. In addition to the programs already mentioned, Adobe Illustrator, CorelDraw, LibreCAD, QCAD, DraftSight and Sketchup will also work;
- Use the software tools to create a cut project, including the size, shape, and location of the cut. Send outlines at 1:1 scale, in mm. Specify the diameter, width, and thickness of the sheet;
- Make sure that the project is suitable for laser cutting of pipes and that the laser can access the cutting area. To do this, use the following formats: *.dxf ;*.dwg; *.cdw; *.frw;
- Use modeling software tools to verify the design and make sure it meets your requirements;
- Once your design is complete, export it to a file compatible with your laser cutting machine *.dxf ;*.dwg; *.cdw; *.frw;
- Load the design file into your laser cutting machine software and prepare the machine for cutting;
- Perform a test cut to make sure the machine is cutting the pipe correctly, and make any necessary changes to the design or cutting parameters;
- After a successful test cut, start cutting real pipe.
