WARDCAM is a powerful yet simple package for quickly turning DXF files into CNC code for the waterjet. WARDCAM removes the complexity of many CAD/CAM packages by utilizing context sensitive menus to walk you through the process. A “Fast Forward” button can be used to create CNC files from a DXF file with one click. You can quickly step forward or backward in the process at any time to fine tune settings and then continue from that point with the Fast Forward button. Lead-ins can be added automatically or manually. Cut qualities can be adjusted for entire or partial cuts. If your waterjet has accessories like 5-axis cutting, drilling, and tapping, these options can also be easily programmed.
