42:13 Does It Work?
42:33 Is the Pattern Accurate?
43:04 How Fast is It?
46:21 Can I Afford it?
50:36 Does The Pattern Fit?
52:23 Can ExactFlat Integrate the Shrinkage Factor as a Buffer for the Fit?
53:14 Can ExactFlat nest on leather where the high visibility parts require less natural imperfections or should that require a scan of the leather?
54:41 If I have patterns made by a supplier can I import them directly into 2D portion of the software for the production? Am I able to import ".mdl" files?
56:18 When benchmarking ExactFlat software what have you noticed when comparing your software to DC3D?
57:00 Do we need Solidworks prior to purchasing the ExactFlat software?
57:32 At to the 3rd decimal in inches how accurate is the fit of one pattern next and in between notches? What are the tolerances?
1:01:28 Can ExactaFlat produce velcro closure instead of sewing seams?
1:03:00 A footwear last is an asymmetrical, very curvy object. How does the flattening represent the 2 different sides of the last in 2D form?
