Development is the graphical process of producing a flat pattern from drawing designs of a curved surface. All critical considerations when it gets down to the actual fabrication.
The software differs from sheetmetal CAD software in that it outputs full manufacturing details for all metal thicknesses that will suit your fab shop and match the engineer's performance requirements.įastSHAPES® excels in the heavy plate forming market because it caters for material thickness, weld joint detail, rolling allowances, and seam locations. The point of difference is that the software also caters for TRUE thick plate development requiring weld prep as well as sheetmetal patterns. 3D HEAVY PLATE DEVELOPMENT FastSHAPES® is the generic name for a suite of Plate & Sheet metal development software programs designed for heavy fabrication where the main jointing technology is welding.
