Description
L a n t e k F l ex 3 D U n f o l d i n g i s a s p e c i f i c a p p l i c a t i o n f r o m the Lantek Flex3D family of products for 3D part design and automatic unfolding. The result is the unfolded part in 2D. L a n t e k F l ex 3 D U n f o l d i n g i s a s ta n d - a l o n e a p p l i c a t i o n and no additional software is needed to work with it. EASY, FLEXIBLE DESIGN With Lantek Flex3D Unfolding , the design of any part in 3 D i s m a d e s i m p l e . Sta r t i n g f r o m a s o l i d b a s e , t h e d i ff e r e n t f a c e s a r e a d d e d t o f o r m t h e c o m p l e t e pa r t . Once the part has been designed, the unfolding is immediate and automatic. The application has a powerful help system with detailed explanations of each one of the options, so that the user may resolve any doubts quickly and simply. Dynamic coordinate system specifically for boxes. Real viewing of the part. Powerful 2D design module. Automatic unfolding. Possibility of unfolding (transfer from 3D to 2D geometry) in DXF or MEC format (Lanteks own format for integration with Lantek Expert ).

Unfolding options

Automatic unfolding of the part based on its own unfolding algorithm, which depends on: o The K factor. o A technology table which can be configured by the user, in accordance with thickness, radius, and the machine. The unfolding provided by Lantek Flex3D Unfolding is totally configurable. There are two output formats: o Unfolding of geometry to DXF format file, completely user-configurable from the program (type of line, colour) o Direct unfolding to Lantek Expert s data base (MEC). No need to create intermediate f i l e s . T h e s y s t e m a l l o w s t h e 2 D g e o m e t r y o b ta i n e d to be directly transferred to the CAM cutting or punching system.
