SheetCam takes graphics files like SVG, DXF, HPGL, etc, that represent the object to be cut and produces a G-Code file. That file can have any extension (determined by the post processor) but is typically .TAP for Mach 3 controllers (CrossFire), or .NC with the FireControl (CrossFire Pro) post processor.
If you can generate an SVG or DXF file from your program, then SheetCam should be able to work with it.
