ExactFlat
Powerful, integrated features that set a new productivity benchmark ExactFlat Design Studio powerfully extends the capabilities of SolidWorks making it a relevant and powerful choice for companies manufacturing sewn products.
With ExactFlat Design Studio, manufacturers can now:
- Design and model in SolidWorks
- Accurately flatten 3D surface into 2D patterns
- Develop and engineer patterns with seam allowances, notches, grain lines, drills, appliques, etc.
- Define and associate manufacturing sequences to pattern geometry
- Define and associate costs with materials, pattern geometry, and manufacturing sequences
- Optimize material utilization through maker making and nesting
- Output the cutter, PDM, ERP
By consolidating the essential product development steps of design, 3D to 2D surface flattening, pattern engineering, nesting, costing, and documentation onto a single platform, ExactFlat enables manufacturers to achieve significant productivity improvements.
Capabilities
Advanced 2D to 3D Flattening Algorithms
ExactFlat’s algorithms utilize a proprietary FEA solver refined over 10 years and are made for anisotropic materials formed into complex, non-developable surface geometry.
Powerful Patterning Tools
Visual, intuitive pattern engineering available inside SolidWorks.
Integrated High Yield Nesting
ExactFlat helps designers and engineers get more done, in less time, with lower effort. They have taken advanced industry leading compaction algorithms and embedded them within the SolidWorks CAD environment.
