After cropped, the square frames need to stretch to fill up the screen which is at the aspect ratio of 16:9 or 4:3. However, the cropped frames turn out to be square by simply cutting a half of the original 3D frames. The basic way to divide 3D frames is to crop the images, which is also employed by VLC to convert 3D videos to 2D. In the process of a 3D video conversion, the biggest challenge is to separate the frames shot from 2 perspectives without any distortion.
In this way, a regular motion picture camera system is employed to record the images as seen from two perspectives and a special projection or eyewear is used to limit the visibility of each image to the watcher's left or right eye exclusively. The most common way to produce a 3D video originates from stereoscopic photography. If you are interested to see if ExactFlat can convert your product from 3D to 2D, contact us.In simple words, 3D video stands for three-dimensional video which offers a stereoscopic image by enhancing the illusion of depth perception to add a third dimension. ExactFlat 3D to 2D conversion works with traditional woven material, technical textiles, non-woven materials, metals and composites.ĮxactFlat 3D to 2D digital patterning can be used with any type of product, having the ability to flatten 3D CAD models of any shape and any type of material.
ExactFlat is the ONLY 3D to 2D flattening software that takes into consideration material properties. This is because it is a 2 stage 3D to 2D flattener that eliminates wrinkles and folds and allows users to adjust their target strain. For example, the complex curved surfaces typically found in automotive trim, apparel, marine canvas, furniture and paint protection film are easily flattened by ExactFlat. ExactFlat accurately flattens 3D CAD models with planar, curved or even complex surfaces. It works on any type of surface geometry. What kind of products can be converted from 3D to 2D with ExactFlat?ĮxactFlat can be used to convert surfaces from 3D to 2D on any type of product and here is why: ExactFlat offers the only workflow proven to lead to consistently accurate 3D scan to 2D patter results. We have pioneered the 3D Scan-to-Pattern workflow. This ads versatility to your workflow that other products cannot easily accomodate. For example, with ExactFlat you can create a real-time dynamic nest of your parts in seconds without complicated set-up, file transfer, and re-entering data.ĮxactFlat supports upstream 3D scanning and any DXF capable CNC cutter. The data and information hand-off is smooth and seamless. Each step produces outputs for subsequent steps. The ExactFlat workflow is faster and less error prone because it has integrated all the tasks. The result is that the cost of this business decision is passed on to customers - ExactFlat takes 4 hours to learn, other product take 80 hours and up to $20,000 to learn. Others have aligned with obscure 3D technologies that have few training options. As a result you have a pool of millions of trained and semi-trained CAD users from which to draw.
Why is there such a huge difference? This is because we made a good business decision to have our technology complement SolidWorks 3D and Rhino 3D. This compares to upwards of 80 hours and $20,000 of learning time for some other competitors. It can be learned in as little as 4 hours for experienced CAD users. We can test your specific material and give you the mechanical properties for input into our flattening algorithms.ĮxactFlat is easy to use. ExactFlat is consistently accurate for any type of complex surface and any type of material regardless of whether it is stretchy, semi stretchy, or non-stretchy. Digital process is preferred since it is faster, more accurate, and easier to make edits due to changing requirements.ĮxactFlat has superior 3D to 2D due to higher accuracy and versatility. The top reasons are below:ĮxactFlat use a 100% digital process from 3D to 2D sewing patterns. This was the #1 question from prospective customers.
