FastCAM Profile Quoter

PARAMETRIC ESTIMATOR FOR CUT PLATE WITH OPTIMIZER...Ideal for Profiling, Shearing and Laser Cutting.

FastCAM® Profile Quoter is the fastest way to prepare detailed quotations for all types of burning machines, Oxy-fuel, Plasma, Laser or Waterjet. The system was designed to make quoting easy, automated and systemized, with easy CAD-free operation. To quote, select a part from the inbuilt shape library, enter basic dimensions with material type, thickness & quantities, or select the customer supplied DXF file from the same menu.

Parts are nested onto available stock including remnant stock, providing an optimized detailed quotation. The optimization process runs through millions of possible ‘nests’ to produce the most efficient ‘cost’ layout. The integrated database allows you to store your completed quotes and associated DXF files for easy requoting and retrieval. Mark jobs as Pending, Won or Lost and produce simple reports for analysis.
