FastCAM has been supplying software solutions for over 30 years. Originally we designed a simple rectangular optimizer to complement our existing FastCAM® System, however FastCUT® quickly became popular in the flat glass, wood panel and associated industries. Today the product has been re-designed and customized for wood. The FastCUT® Wood program is available by direct download with payment by PayPal for your convenience.

Nests Square, Rectangular and Stock Length Material to Produce Cost Estimate & Cut List
FastCUT® solves the time consuming process of quoting and calculating materials and is probably the most cost effective tool that you can add to your business because it not only saves you time and materials, it speeds up production and controls waste. There's not a lot of software in this price range that affects your bottom line in such an easy, instant and dramatic way. FastCUT® lets even small job shops incorporate powerful nesting efficiencies into their business.
You can obtain an estimate on dollars per cut and dollars per material so it's ideal as a quick and simple estimation tool. Cutting lists, nest images and costing reports can all be printed, as can material Utilization and Dimensioned Patterns.
Optimization for us is about getting the greatest possible yield from material by trying millions of computer generated layouts. Sometimes it is about working out what stock to order in the first place. Even small improvements can result in large savings of material and considerably reduce production costs, maximizing the material utilization and hence minimizing the [wasted] area. The optimization/nesting technology used today is vastly improved on what it was even several years ago because of the fantastic increase in micro speeds.
FastCUT® for Wood is sold as a standalone product and like all FastCAM® products, it is designed to be used in your business immediately with the minimum of user instructions and data input.
