FastCAM MTO
 
|
FastCAM® MTO makes the laborious task of RFQ's requiring Materials Take-Off fast and simple. It is not CAD, Excel or a Macro. It's easier!
FastCAM® MTO provides the fastest method of entering materials into 'sortable' lists for estimating and factory production. Eliminate time consuming Request for Quotations (RFQ's) requiring manual take-offs (MTO's), do it once and get it right first time. You'll never have to re-type material lists again!
Simply enter data direct from the command line or use the drop down catalogue list to select sections. You can even go a step further and use the data in an external estimating and quoting system like FastCAM® QE to produce accurate and optimized quotes based on exact stock sizes.
FastCAM® MTO highlights:
 Inbuilt catalogues for all Standard Sections
Inch or Metric Data input / output
Cut/paste to & from Excel, Word and most Window Apps
Data includes mass and surface area of all items
Command line data entry for fast predictive data entry

Catalogue editor: Import, update and maintain
Setup alias names for non-standard sections
Optional DSTV/BOM data entry from 3D CAD Systems
Powerful print preview with zoom

Why is FastCAM® MTO Free?
We've made FastCAM® MTO Free because of the need to establish a Take-Off Standard for the Steel Industry. As it stands, many lists are handwritten. Where a spreadsheet is used it's not in a standard way and they aren't able to contain the detail of hand drawings. With FastCAM® MTO, you can tackle RFQ's with ease and create your fastest ever take-offs.
Is it a free trial.. What's the 'catch'?

You do not need any other FastCAM® or 3rd party software other than Microsoft Windows. We only require that you register your details with us.
What do I have to do to get it?

Is FastCAM® MTO multi-user?
No. It is not multi-user or a network version however you can send the data in the form of an email attachment and have FastCAM® MTO on as many individual PC's as you like.

What is the FastCAM® MTO file format?

This is generally freely permissable by FastCAM with some standard ownership provisions. For example, a condition of use is the inclusion and maintenance of copyright information. (Note that for an MTO file to be read by FastCAM® programs it must contain the correct copyright and version information.) FastCAM would also seek written assurances that the program is not intended as competition with the FastCAM® products. Developers and third parties should seek permission with FastCAM directly.
