Which CAD you use might matter because I think some systems allow you to

The TP has improved a lot in the last few years. My plasma runs on
LinuxCNC and it's pretty smooth even on thin materials.
HF is nasty. It gets into everything. If you can afford them, Hypertherm
cutters use blow back ignition so no HF. They are very popular on CNC
