Safety Warning

⚠ Critical Safety Notice CNC plasma cutting involves high temperatures, molten metal, UV radiation, and high-voltage electrical systems.

Never operate CNC plasma equipment without proper training, appropriate personal protective equipment, and adequate ventilation. SentienPath is not responsible for personal injury, property damage, or material loss resulting from the use of generated GCode output.

It is your sole responsibility to verify that generated toolpaths are appropriate for your machine, material, and operating environment before executing any cutting operation. Always consult your machine manufacturer's documentation and safety guidelines.
