Features

  • Editable material and tool management including an extensive library of standard components.

  • Easy unfolding of multi-body parts, assemblies, free-form surfaces, curved surfaces, and other complex parts.

  • Multiple import and export (dxf, geo, step, xml) file formats.

  • Multiple calculation methods and formulas for calculating the flat pattern.

  • Automatic manufacturability checks.

Benefits

  • Reduce design errors and save as much as 80% of the design time thanks to specialized commands and exact calculations.

  • Cut down pre-production work with the help of the SPI unfolding algorithm that delivers production-ready flat patterns.

  • Keep track of the costs of your product with the SheetMetal Calculator add-on that provides a rule-based cost calculation in real-time.

  • Seamlessly connect your design and fabrication with output formats for a wide range of CAM applications and CNC machines.

  • Make small lot sizes profitable thanks to a virtual prototyping function that generates a ready-to-manufacture 3D prototype based on your on-site machine environment.
