Lantek F l e x 3 D U n f o l d i n g

Dynamic coord ina te sys tem spec i f i ca l l y fo rboxes. Real v iewing of the part . Powerful 2D design module. Automat ic unfo ld ing. Poss ib i l i t y o f unfo ld ing( t ransfer f rom 3D to 2D geometry) in DXF or MECfo rmat (Lantek s own fo rmat fo r i n teg ra t i on w i thLantek Expe r t ) .

Lantek Flex3D Unf o ld i ng is a speci f ic appl icat ion f romthe Lantek Flex3D family of products for 3D part designand automat ic unfo ld ing. The resul t is the unfo ldedpart in 2D.Lantek Fl e x3D Un f o l d i n g is a s tand-a lone appl icat ionand no addit ional software is needed to work with i t .

EASY, FLEXIBLE DESIGN

With Lantek Flex3D Unfo ld ing , the design of any part in3D is made s imple. Star t ing f rom a so l id base, thedi fferent faces are added to form the complete part .Once the par t has been des igned, the unfo ld ing isimmediate and automat ic.The app l i ca t ion has a power fu l he lp sys tem w i thdetai led explanat ions of each one of the opt ions, sothat the user may reso lve any doubts qu ick ly andsimply.

Creat ion o f the base face f rom 2D geometryor parameters introduced by the user.

Parametr isable addi t ion of any type of face tothe base face:

o Independent displacements at bothends of the added face.

o Independent chamfers at each endof the added face.

o Independent round ing rad ius fo reach one of the faces.

o Different angle for each one of thefaces.

o Mult ip le opt ions for d imensioningthe faces.

o Face types which grow outwards,inwards or exact ly to the edge.
