“Introduction to Apparel Patterns with Graphics from 3D Design”

If you create apparel pieces for fashion industry, 3D to 2D digital patterning can help do more work in less time. In this demo we use a dress with a graphic design and import it into ExactFlat for Rhino 3D. We work on the imported model, flatten and render it into 2D patterns and create an export file for the cutter.
