Almacam 2D is a CAD/CAM software for nesting and programming 2D cutting machines. It covers the complete programming process, from CAD file import and part preparation to optimized nesting, toolpath generation and NC code generation.
Designed for sheet metal and other flat materials, Almacam 2D can program different cutting technologies and machine brands from a single software environment.
Program all your 2D cutting machines
Almacam 2D provides a unified programming environment for all types of 2D cutting machines and technologies and is compatible with all machine brands:
The best 2D nesting technology on the market
Almacam 2D delivers the best 2D nesting performance on the market. The objective is simple: help you save raw material.
For more than 45 years, Alma has developed its nesting algorithms in-house. Nesting is not a third-party technology integrated into our software. It is one of our core areas of expertise, continuously developed and improved by our own R&D teams.
A CAD/CAM software that evolves with your machine park
Production workshops often operate machines from different manufacturers and using different technologies. Thanks to its multi-brand, multi-technology approach, Almacam 2D lets you keep the same CAD/CAM environment as your machine park evolves.
When a machine is replaced or new equipment is added, programmers continue working with the same programming logic. Your investment in software, working methods and acquired skills therefore delivers value over the long term, even as your machine park evolves.
More than standalone nesting software
Almacam 2D combines optimized nesting and CAM programming in the same software. This means that the nesting result is not isolated from the manufacturing process. Part placement, cutting strategies, machine capabilities and production constraints can be considered together when preparing a job.
For manufacturers and subcontractors, this creates a continuous workflow from CAD file import and nesting to toolpath generation and the final NC program sent to the cutting machine.
