It's done with EMC2, MESA 7i43 (USB), and an ADC/DIO break out board. It's with THC, 3D NURBS motion, and JERK control. Our hardware cost would be identical to THC300, and the software is freely available from github<https://github.com/Artek> . Here's the plasma cutting video: http://youtu.be/BraEMAu5UkY The thing is that we are using USB as the communication interface between PC/EMC2 and MESA FPGA card, and the EMC2 community has concerns for this interface.
