Plasma cutting Cut out an 8 or a D

Post by asd1234 »

Hello

How can I cut a D or an 8 in plasma cutting. I would like to insert bridges so that the middle piece does not fall out. My programs are Sheetcam and Cut2D.

There are two options. One way is to convert the text to drawing outlines then manually add the bridges. This can be tedious but allows you to use any font. The other way is to use a stencil font. Stencil fonts have the bridges built in but there aren't many decent ones available so your choice of fonts is limited.
