How much does the MultiCam 3000 Series Plasma cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a cnc plasma cutting in this class — not a quote from MultiCam. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The MultiCam 3000 Series Plasma is a CNC plasma cutting table listed in sizes from 4x4 ft through 5x10 ft, driven by rack-and-pinion with AC servo motors. The listed figures on this page have not been confirmed against a MultiCam document, so check them against the supplier's specification for the size and plasma source you are considering.
Cutting capacity depends on the plasma source, which is listed as a Hypertherm Powermax 45–125 or an XPR series unit. The thickness figures are given for the Powermax 125: 25 mm (1 in) of mild steel at production speed, and 38 mm (1.5 in) of mild steel as maximum severance. The gap between those two numbers is the practical point. Severance is a rough parting cut, so jobs should be planned around the 25 mm (1 in) figure, and a smaller Powermax will cut less than either.
Maximum cutting speed is listed at 6,100 mm/min (240 ipm) and positioning accuracy at ±0.25 mm. That accuracy suits plate parts that will be welded or machined afterwards more than close-tolerance finished work. Torch height is managed by an automatic THC with arc voltage sensing.
The table can be configured as a water table or a downdraft table, and the choice affects fume handling and the services the building has to provide. The control is a MultiCam E3 CNC, Windows-based, and MultiCam CAD/CAM with OptiPath nesting is listed as included. Machine weight runs 680–1,360 kg (1,500–3,000 lb) depending on size. Electrical supply is 208/240 VAC, single- or 3-phase, depending on the plasma source.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Table sizes from 4x4 ft through 5x10 ft, configurable
- 25 mm (1 in) of mild steel at production speed with the Powermax 125
- Automatic torch height control with arc voltage sensing
- MultiCam CAD/CAM with OptiPath nesting is listed as included
- Water table or downdraft table, chosen at configuration
Limitations
- The listed figures are not confirmed against a MultiCam document
- Positioning accuracy is listed at ±0.25 mm, too coarse for close-tolerance finished parts
- The largest listed table is 5x10 ft
- 38 mm (1.5 in) is a severance figure for mild steel, not a production cut

Frequently Asked Questions
01
With the Powermax 125 the listed capacity is 25 mm (1 in) of mild steel at production speed, with a maximum severance of 38 mm (1.5 in) in mild steel. The plasma source is listed as a Hypertherm Powermax 45–125 or XPR series, and capacity changes with the source fitted.
02
Sizes run from 4x4 ft through 5x10 ft and are configurable. Machine weight follows the size, at 680–1,360 kg (1,500–3,000 lb). The table can be built as a water table or as a downdraft table.
03
The listed supply is 208/240 VAC, single- or 3-phase, and it depends on the plasma source. Settle the source first, then confirm the supply for that unit before wiring the shop.
04
The control is listed as a MultiCam E3 CNC, which is Windows-based. MultiCam CAD/CAM with OptiPath nesting is listed as included. Motion is by rack-and-pinion with AC servo motors, at a maximum cutting speed of 6,100 mm/min (240 ipm).
