3D to 2D Pattern Making Service

For busy professionals with deadlines and production bottlenecks, send us your files. Our team will convert your file from 3D to 2D, apply patterns features such as notches, seam allowances, and markings and send you ready to cut patterns made to your specifications.

  • ExactFlat pattern-making service is an outsourced pattern making service for companies that may lack in-house 3D to 2D expertise, have surges in production volume, or demanding project deadlines. 

    1. 3D to 2D Flattening

    2. 3D to 2D Pattern-making

    3. 3D to 2D Graphic & Texture Flattening

    4. 3D to 2D Scan-to-Pattern Flattening

    5. 3D to 2D Pattern-making and Cut & Sew Prototyping

  • ExactFlat Pattern-making Services are faster, more accurate and more flexible than legacy manual pattern-making because it takes precision laser scans or 3D CAD files as input and uses 3D to 2D digital pattern-making to convert these files into 2D patterns.  This means you can meet your deadlines and eliminate bottlenecks and backlogs.
