IMAGINiT Technologies Partners with ExactFlat to Offer Customers 3D-to-2D Flattening Capabilities

Rand Worldwide (OTCBB: RWWI), a global leader in providing technology solutions to organizations with engineering design and information technology requirements, today announced its IMAGINiT Technologies division has partnered with ExactFlat to enable customers to convert the most complex 3D CAD models into production-ready 2D flat patterns in just minutes. Integrated with Autodesk® Inventor® 3D CAD software, ExactFlat extends the power of Autodesk Inventor to solve the 3D flattening problem.

“ExactFlat has solved a significant problem in the CAD market”, said Bob Heeg, executive vice president of worldwide operations, IMAGINiT Technologies. “We kept hearing from our customers that solid modeling and surface modeling were disconnected, necessitating a highly-manual, repetitious process that included modeling, draping and digitizing. With ExactFlat, our customers can instantly close this gap inside Autodesk Inventor and drive tremendous efficiencies from 3D CAD right through to the cutting table.”

Working together, ExactFlat and IMAGINiT are providing customers with a solution to help them better leverage their existing technology to keep the entire design and engineering workflow on the desktop - eliminating expensive and slow manual processes that impact every manufacturer working with industrial fabrics. 

“ExactFlat 3D-to-2D advanced flattening technology has been used by some of the largest, most demanding and advanced manufacturers for years”, said Steven McLendon, executive vice president of ExactFlat. “Partnering with IMAGINiT, we’re excited to bring our innovative products to a broader base of regional, national and global manufacturers working within the industrial fabrics space.” 

If you’re using 3D CAD and you need to create production-ready 2D flat patterns for the cutting table, ExactFlat is the fastest, most accurate and simple way to do it. See a video demo of ExactFlat in action at http://exactflat.com/product/how-3d-to-2d-flattening-works.
