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 1):
A quotation machine comprising:\n a network connection adapted to receive a material take-off (MTO) file containing information describing non-existing metal part or parts, and to transmit a quotation for production of the non-existing metal part or parts; the quotation machine configured to extract at least an identification of a raw material, and a rough shape of the nonexisting part or parts from the MTO file; the quotation machine configured to determine if the identified raw material is in stock in a warehouse; the quotation machine configured with a nesting routine adapted to determine a layout for the nonexisting part or parts on the raw material using the rough shape of the non-existing part or parts, to determine cost of the identified raw material, and to estimate scrap from production of the non-existent part or parts; the quotation machine configured to prepare the quotation including the cost of the identified raw material with allowance for the scrap and cost of cutting parts from the raw material.
