The ExactFlat Workflow is Fast and Easy

Step 1: Prepare 3D Model

Import your 3D Model into ExactFlat using a variety of supported formats.

Adjust pattern splits using delete, split and join commands.

Optimize 3D mesh elements’ size, structure and count using ExactFlat’s Uniform and Adaptive Remesher.

Step 2: Convert 3D to 2D

Disassemble your 3D model into individual 2D pattern pieces.

Relax and de-wrinkle initial strain and sag on 2D pattern pieces.

Optimize fit by refining edge length, surface area, and 2D geometry to intended pattern fit.

Step 3: Finalize 2D Pattern

Arrange 2D pieces quickly to visually mimic the final sewn pattern assembly.

Add pattern features like seam allowances, alignment notches, and grain lines automatically. 

Create export files in DXF, PDF, or CAD formats for maximum compatibility with follow-on processes.
