It is CAD-free although the optimized DXF output is compatible with CAD and CAM systems. Using FastCOPY®, anyone can copy 'off the street' parts in minutes ready for accurate profile cutting! You don't have to be a draftsman or machine operator. The copy comes out less accurately than the original because these broken small lines create a slow, jerky, stop-start cutting motion. Scanning usually degrades drawings and the machine data is composed of hundreds or even thousands of little straight lines (usually around 1~3 mm long). Another problem is the quality of the copy. Optical machines have the capability to trace a part however it is tedious and time-consuming. You can directly digitize the sequence of events and generate cut quality DXF files. You can input or measure a shrinkage/scale factor to allow for deterioration of templates.

You can reset the origin, allowing digitizing of shapes much bigger than the digitizer surface There are additional functions of great value: The button functions for the main digitizing level are The operator can access all functions from the keypad and can see progress with visual verification, without touching the keyboard. The original intent has been recovered and with an absolute minimum of input and expertise. This comes out as a perfect fillet and far better than a scanned version.

A line x arc x line fillet is digitized with #1, #1, #5, #1, #1 to generate a line, fillet, line and the software calculates the blend points. So what is a full circle in a gasket is digitized with 3 presses of button #6. With wear and time, the edges are blurred but the intent is clear. The unique software uses mathematics and reverse engineering to recreate the original part without degradation (ideal to copy worn industrial parts, non-engineering parts, signs, artwork etc).Įngineering parts are made of circles, blends, fillets and other simple constructions, often cut with NC machines. FastCOPY® is an alternative standalone solution to optical tracing or scanning for steel profilers and very useful for all fabricators presented with outlines or line drawings where no CAD drawing exists.įastCOPY® is ideal where there is a need to copy templates or actual parts because it recovers the underlying engineering data, improving the result.
