- FastCAM abstract "FastCAM are early pioneers and inventors of CAD/CAM software, releasing one of the first on screen nesting systems in 1982. The system was run on the North Star Horizon S100 BUS (one of the first challengers to the minicomputer and before the first IBM computer came out in 1983), Z80 8-bit microprocessor, 64 KB of RAM, twin 360 KB floppy disks. The system was unique because it included a separate floating point processor providing mini computer performance. This was integrated into the software using Microsoft’s original compilers. The Lear-Siegler terminal was modified with a card to convert it to Tektronics compatible graphics. The Servogor plotter gave accurate scale simulations of the precise tool path and sequence for verification purposes. The Teletype Model 43 ASR gave listings and punch tape for the early NC flame cutters. Later an interactive keyboard gave mouse-like capabilities. This was a revolutionary system at the time and significant commercially because it made computing affordable for manufacturers cutting parts from steel plate. By comparison, modern, low cost PC's combined with FastCAM's powerful new optimization algorithms deliver results in seconds.Established as a business in 1978, FastCAM is now one of the oldest Computer-aided manufacture (CAM) software companies in the world, supplying a range of software programs for all types of Computer Numerical Control CNC machinery for Steel Profile Cutting including Gas, Plasma, Laser and Waterjet. MTO file format for the Steel IndustryIn 2006, the MTO file format was created by FastCAM for electronic storage and information specific to steel construction. The FastCAM MTO (Material Take-off) software program reads and creates these MTO files which are similar in structure to XML. FastCAM have made the program available as freeware to use by all parties for the purpose of standard communication within the metals service industry.Precise Weld Preparation In 2010, FastCAM invented a new lightweight, modular, 3-axis, 240v digital bevel head for the creation of true 3D bevel shapes from heavy steel. The idea being to make industrial weld preparation as automated and affordable as straight cutting. The most useful common application for the technology is precise V, X, Y, K bevels (weld preparation --welding joint -- for flat and formed plate but pipe cutting with bevels is also supported) on a single torch machine without the dependence on the NC programmer. The patented system of bevel head and next generation FastCAM software eliminates an entire step in the fabrication process. A technical article written by FastCAM President Dr. Matthew J. Fagan and FastCAM Senior Engineer Mike McCormick on Plasma Beveling Technology for the application of plate weld preparation was published in the American Welding Journal, February 2011 edition.".
