Delivering Accurate Flat Patterns to the Manufacturing Floor With Ease

Engineers who design and manufacture composite parts face the time-consuming and difficult process of exporting flat patterns to nesting software and automated cutting systems. Without an automated way of exporting flat patterns from the CAD model, engineers often find that their flat patterns are inaccurate.

With FiberSIM Flat Pattern Export™ software, engineers can automatically generate flat pattern data files for export from their CAD workstation directly to a popular nesting system. The software maintains file integrity by including attributes such as ply name, sequence, material specification and orientation, and eliminates the need for manual manipulation of drawings and patterns. As a result, the software increases engineering efficiency and manufacturing productivity while achieving more accurate flat patterns and less material waste.

With Flat Pattern Export software, engineers can:

• Ensure data integrity and accuracy by seamlessly exporting flat pattern data directly from the CAD system;
• Eliminate manual sorting of patterns;
• Maintain flat pattern attributes, eliminating the need for manual input into nesting software or cutting systems;
• Fillet corners to create optimized flat patterns for cutting.
