FastCAM was introduced in 1976 as a basic drawing editor, but has grown to be far more than that now. When bundled with products like FastPLOT and FastNEST, FastCAM becomes a full-fledged solution for drawing, nesting, and cutting.
The FastCAM drawing editor is far simpler to use than any other editor on the market. To add to its versatility, FastCAM can work with CAD programs, like SolidWorks.
