Before clicking a single button, you must understand where BySoft CAM fits.
In this BySoft CAM tutorial, we focus on taking a part file (.dxf, .dstv, .3ds) and turning it into machine-ready NC code.
This guide is structured to serve as both a written tutorial and a template for a video script or classroom handout. It focuses on BySoft 7, the standard software used for Bystronic laser and waterjet cutting machines.
Bysoft is not a full 3D mechanical CAD system, but it has robust 2D tools.
You have one part programmed. Now you need 50 of them.
BySoft CAM will rotate and position parts to maximize material utilization (>85% is good, >90% is excellent).
Nesting arranges multiple parts on a single sheet to maximize material yield.
