Abstract:
Systems, methods, and software products estimate cost of fulfilling an order for non-existing steel parts. A web site interacts with a customer to receive a request for quote containing a single MTO file defining the non-existing steel parts. The single MTO file is processed to generate at least one layout based upon stock information of a raw steel product. The layout defines (a) nesting of the non-existing steel parts on the raw steel product, (b) a cost of cutting the parts from the raw steel product, (c) a used portion of the raw steel product, (d) a waste portion of the raw steel product, and (e) a remaining usable portion of the raw steel product. A quote estimating the cost of fulfilling the order is generated based upon the at least one layout, and the quote is sent to the customer.

Claim (Index 4):
A system for estimating cost and fulfilling an order for non-existing metal parts, comprising:\n a computer server having a processor and memory storing machine readable instructions that are executed by the processor to implement:\n a customer interface for receiving a single Material Take-Off (MTO) file from a customer; and \n a quote engine for processing the single MTO file to automatically generate\n (a) at least one layout of the non-existing metal parts on a raw metal product based upon a design of the non-existing metal parts in the single MTO file, \n (b) a quote estimating the cost of fulfilling the order based upon the at least one layout, and \n (c) at least one manufacturing file based upon the at least one layout and a computer aided design (CAD) filed embedded in the single MTO file; and \n \n a metal processing machine adapted to use the at least one manufacturing file to produce the non-existing metal parts from the raw product, the at least one manufacturing file comprising a numerical control program to control the metal processing machine.
