Bill of Material Scanner
Hot Product Award

SoftScan is a generic Bill of Material scanner designed to read from various CAD systems that generates reports for fabrication and produces various output formats for production management. It’s a fully customizable scanner capable of understanding almost every different kind of bill of material.

SoftScan is a robust, stand-alone software system that reads any DWG, DXF or 3D-Cad/SmartCad file directly, and creates a file that can be imported into:

FabTrol
Fabsuite
StruMIS
EJE
Steel 2000
ROMAC
Structural Software
And Microsoft Excel

By simply selecting your drawings and clicking the scan button, the rest is automatic, and no 3rd party CAD system or software is required. SoftScan also produces a variety of reports based on the BOM including a Mill Order Report, Cutting List, Material Summary Report, Bolt Summary and Nesting Report.

The tedious task of typing Bills of Material into these software packages is now a thing of the past.

It’s simple user interface will have you scanning in minutes, and help you download hundreds of detailing sheets with a simple mouse click.
