Oxyfuel

Full 2D oxy-fuel flame cutting CAM, built on the Plasma workspace and sharing its whole toolset — DXF, SVG and SheetCAM .job import, manual and automatic nesting, Common Grid, contour rules, scribing, quoting and cut simulation all work exactly as they do in Plasma. What differs is what flame cutting demands: you select a torch and JetCad3 loads that torch's factory cut charts, every program takes its preheat time, pierce delay, standoffs, speed and kerf from the chart row for the plate you are cutting, small holes get extra wall clearance before switching to a centre pierce, and every lead-in eases into the plate at a creep feed before winding up to cutting speed. There is no arc voltage and no torch height control, because a flame torch has neither. Ignition, preheat flame and cutting oxygen run through two G-code subroutines you write once, so a hand-lit torch, an auto igniter, and a table with separate idle and preheat fuel circuits all drive the same program. Oxyfuel ships first as a pre-release for test users — it is available on the pre-release channel from v2.4.4 and reaches the main release shortly after.
