Unfold
SigmaNEST Unfold supports STEP files, allowing users to unfold their 3D parts two different ways:
- Interactive: displays a visual representation of the 3D-part unfolding
- Non-interactive: unfolds the STEP file behind the scenes with no visual representation on the process
Users can quickly unfold all 3D parts by selecting the “Unfold All” option within the interface. Once their parts are unfolded, users can export the flat pattern for nesting in SigmaNEST. Upon completing the 3D unfolding process, users can export the flat pattern as a separate STEP or DXF file. The Unfold module is extremely useful for users who are consistently cutting 3D parts and needing the generate the flat patterns to make that possible with 2D cutting machines.
