60Ticks ORD-2-NC Converter: convert waterjet ORD files to CNC mill NC code

Turn an ORD part file into G-code your CNC can run.

Already have ORD part files and need G-code? Open the file, check the path in the preview, and save clean Mach3/Mach4 G-code. Set your feed rate, speed values, pierce dwell and program header and footer once — the program remembers them.

What it does

Open an ORD part file and see the file and the generated G-code side by side
Path Preview plays back the cut path, with dashed travel moves
Set the cutting feed rate, speed-level S values and pierce dwell
Automatic cutter compensation (G42) around offset contours, or turn it off
Editable program header and footer (G-mode, tool, work offset, program end)
Save and load your settings, and the program remembers them between sessions
Optional safe travel height (Z raise/lower around rapid moves), with an optional multi-pass mode for milling. The G-code can drive a waterjet nozzle or a milling bit
A small, quick program — no drawing tools to learn

How it works

4. Save the NC file and load it into your machine control

Which one is right for you?

Choose the Converter if you already have ORD files and only need G-code.
Choose Pro if you also want to draw and edit parts, and export ORD files and G-code.
Choose Standard if you want to draw and export ORD files only — no G-code.
