Finally got my Langmuir Pro fired up and cutting!1st of all my buddy and l have been customizing and building custom cars and trucks for over 70 years combined between us, we have 2 SEMA builds , supply chain has been a disaster and finding reliable shops to make our parts has been frustrating so a Langmuir was purchased To make our own parts and play with art inspired designs

Welcome aboard! Many of the Langmuir owners are using Fusion 360 for their cad/cam/post processing. Langmuir offers some excellent Fusion 360 tutorial videos.

https://www.langmuirsystems.com/software/fusion


What drawing program are you currently using to create your parts? You asked in your other post about how to create the g-code cut files from the dxf files provided in the Langmuir FireShare site. Although Langmuir now offers the ability for those sharing files to upload their g-code files, most only have the dxf file available.

Fusion 360 allow import of existing dxf or svg files which you can edit (if you need to make modifications) and then create your cut paths and post process to obtain the g-code file necessary for import to FireControl for cutting. The Langmuir Fusion 360 tutorial videos go over this in detail. Let us know if you have any specific questions about this process and we will try to help you.

I have not that gotten that far yet , we have been downloading designs from FireShare to test the machine , this is a learning curve ,the Plasma unit is a Eastwood 40 , we have a backup Machine if we needed ,different brand 20 years old but works like a champ, also learning a plotter which I am comfortable with it now , some of what I learn can be applied to the Langmuir system
