ExactFlat Addresses Rapidly Growing Customer Need With Cloud-Based Offering

Exactflat is pleased to announce the forthcoming release of ExactFlat OnLine, a ground-breaking productivity solution for soft goods manufacturers delivered through the cloud.

ExactFlat Online enables manufacturers to leverage the compute power of the Cloud to quickly convert 3D design models into accurate 2D flat patterns.  Utilizing the industry-leading flattening technology incorporated within the entire suite of ExactFlat solutions, this new offering also supports pay-as-you-go pricing and a simplified user interface making it an attractive alternative for casual use or widespread enterprise adoption.

"In many of our discussions with soft goods manufacturers, we found the need for just a fraction of the end-to-end workflow benefits we provided but we didn't have a way to deliver that." stated Cliff Brown, Vice President of Marketing at ExactFlat. "This new tool provides a subset of our technology allowing companies to fit it into their existing environment. We're basically optimizing the most difficult and time consuming portion of the process, which is accurate 3D to 2D flattening, with a solution that is fast, simple to access, and affordable."

ExactFlat - the fastest path from CAD to Cutter:
For companies who are using processes such as draping, manual pattern making, and digitizing, ExactFlat dramatically reduces the time and cost associated with the processes of going from 3D CAD to automated Cutters.  ExactFlat automates flattening and integrates with the remaining processes, helping manufacturers cut patterns right the first time and assemble them with ease. The end result is that jobs that take days or weeks to complete today can be accelerated to hours and sometimes minutes.

"Prior to using ExactFlat, we used manual processes to go from design to production."  Said Joel Klaminski, Vice President at Ohio Valley Industrial Service.  "ExactFlat allowed us to transition to a fully digital process.  This allows us to design and manufacturer with less cost than we previously thought possible."
