Marine Canvas in 3 Easy Steps
If you create fabric or canvas products for the marine industry, 3D to 2D digital patterning can help do more work in less time. In this webinar, we feature Prodim Proliner device, Rhino 3D and ExactFlat 3D to 2D Digital Patterning Software. To make better marine canvas faster we only go through three steps. After capturing the geometry of the boat using the Proliner, we converted the 3D surfaces and finished by converting the 3D surfaces into 2D flat patterns.
