Step 1 we scan a chair to capture the shape in all its detail
Step 2 we define our pattern shapes and convert our scan to 3D CAD, and in
Step 3 we flatten our 3D CAD model to create perfectly shaped 2D flat patterns.
Step 1: Laser Scanning
Most beginners can learn the scanning process in just a few practice sessions.
Scanning is easy and is most cases can be completed in a few minutes. Check out Video #1 to learn more.
Step 2: Convert your scan to 3D
The second part of the process requires that we “clean” up the scan and finish with a 3D CAD model that accurately represents the shape of our furniture part. Just like scanning, it can be learned in just a few sessions. The video below shows the whole process.
Step 3: Flatten 3D to 2D
Flattening your 3D model can be completed in about 5 steps that typically take around 5 minutes. You get perfectly shaped patterns and just like in step 1 and step 2, step 3 can be learned in just a few sessions and usually less than 2 hours. The video below shows you how.
