Sheetcam works very well for plasma cutting. The primary reason that we support Fusion 360 is for the ‘keep nozzle down’ function. Since the machine does not have a powered Z axis, it cannot retract to avoid tipups during rapid moves between cuts. Keep Nozzle Down ensures that the torch will avoid tipups during rapid moves between cuts. It significantly reduces the risk of the torch colliding with a tipup.
Below is a screenshot from our CAM tutorial video showing rapid moves employing the ‘keep nozzle down’ strategy.
