Optimizing the individual mesh elements for flattening and deformation.Leveraging tools within the 3D CAD system to convert a surface to a tessellated mesh.
Why are ExactFlat Patterns so Accurate? ExactFlat is the most accurate 3D flattening program available. Component from the 3D model, to the 3D mesh, to the 2D pattern and the production drawings should communicate and interact together seamlessly. Your digital patterning application needs to work in concert with your existing design and production tools. If not the tools will not be used and your business may miss out on the turn advantages of automation. It may seem obvious, but in order to ensure that the digital patterning tool you select has real impact on your business you need to validate that both the actual pattern generation time and new user learning curve are short. This feature also helps speed up the process when adding seams and notches to the 2D flat pattern. This ensures that the flattened perimeter lengths for each piece is the same. Maintaining edge associations between different pieces allows the tool to flatten multiple pieces on a model simultaneously. Other Considerations Configurable Options
Young’s modulus - Ratio of linear stress to linear strain.
Poisson’s ratio - Ratio of lateral strain to axial strain.Properties that must be considered at this stage include: The use of actual material properties is another requirement for pattern flattening accuracy.
