3D to 2D Digital Flattening Advantages

The integration of 3D to 2D digital flattening tools allows companies to quickly transition from design concept into production-ready materials. With the use of ExactFlat, 3D CAD files are flattened into 2D patterns and transferred AccuMark to be converted into production patterns which are ready for nesting and cutting. The combination of these best-in-class solutions makes the entire process seamless and easy.

“We’re extremely excited to be working more closely with the team at Gerber,” stated Mark Jewell, founder and CTO at ExactFlat. “ExactFlat technology has been the leading 3D to 2D flattening solution for more than a decade. The tools are fast, simple-to-use and can produce perfect 2D pattern from any 3D CAD file in a matter of minutes. And now that the solution will be tightly integrated with AccuMark and GERBER cutters, we believe adoption of the technology will ramp up rapidly.”
