Nuts and Bolts:
Dynamic Display changes shape
as data is entered
Full 3D Viewing inc stereoscopic,
Plan, Elevation & Isometric
‘Cutaway’ feature lets you see
inside the development
Calculates Bend Lines, Forming
Angle, Longitudinal Seam Off-
sets and more
Every component of a construc-
tion can be viewed independently
Plotted layouts
2D & 3D DXF CAD output of
shapes and flat pattern
The FastSHAPES® System
contains a full suite of
programs designed to
automatically create flat
pattern developments for
both common & complex
fabricated items.
Shapes can be completed in
a fraction of the time
manually lofted patterns
would allow and importantly,
they are fabricated “right first
time”.
Simply model the item in 3D
(you see the shape appear as
data is entered) and produce
output for cutting or manual
lofting.
FastSHAPES® automatically
produces meaningful data for
the forming and joining of
parts when appropriate.
The system is sophisticated
but uses familiar shop floor
Common
Shapes
Full welding
preparation details
easy to learn with ‘user tips’
and a comprehensive online
help system
With shapes covering most
thick development needs,
FastSHAPES® offers dramatic
benefits to any heavy
fabrication related business.
Complex
multi components
FastSHAPES® is for medium to heavy plate manufacturing where the main jointing technology is welding.
“RIGHT FIRST TIME”
Take out the guesswork and
eliminate the need for
Calculations!
This computer based system
can handle thousands more
computations which is
reflected in the capacity and
accuracy of the system.
Particularly when compared
to hand lofted pattern
developments.
FastSHAPES® produces clean
and precise geometry that you
can export as a DXF (CAD) file
or into your CAM system for
editing and/or nesting if
desired.
Highly accurate components
offer a marked improvement
in weld quality and
consistency resulting in better
fitup.
FastSHAPES® completed this complex
hydro-electric component in only minutes
ready for burning, with all forming details
and even plate edge preparation (PEP).
