ExactFlat Automated 3D to 2D Flattening Technology

Converts 3D and scan data into accurate 2D patterns faster than ever.
It automatically calculates stretch, compression, and strain for every surface—ideal for automotive interiors, marine covers, and fabric products.
By using NURBS-based 3D geometry processing, enhance accuracy, flexibility, and precision in every flattening workflow.

3D to 2D Piece-Linking Workflow Automation

Automate the entire 3D to 2D flattening process through smart pattern linking.
Each linked edge between 3D and 2D patterns updates automatically, helping maintain accuracy and consistency.
Easily add seams, notches, and end conditions without manual edits.
This digital pattern-making feature enhances productivity by allowing rapid updates, simplified assembly layouts, and seamless integration with Rhino 3D.

ExactFlat Advanced 3D Pattern Design & Surface Tools

Extends the capabilities of your 3D CAD software with precise pattern design and surface-editing tools.
Split, join, or delete faces to tailor 2D patterns, add darts and relief cuts to improve fit, and rename pieces for better organization.
These tools are perfect for handling intricate   3D shapes, double curved surfaces, and fabric assemblies—allowing easy-to-use, professional 3D to 2D pattern making for design and production.

Smart Mesh Optimization and 3D Surface Repair

Helps to improve mesh quality and accuracy for superior surface flattening.
Its mesh validation, remeshing, and de-wrinkle tools repair flipped triangles, fix holes, and refine geometry for smoother processing.
This ensures that every 3D model or scan data imported into ExactFlat produces precise and optimized 2D digital patterns ready for cutting and sewing.

Multi-Layer & High-Piece 2D Digital Pattern Handling

Enables efficient 3D to 2D flattening for multi-layer and high-piece-count projects—handling up to 150+ 2D patterns in a single workflow.
This capability allows simultaneous processing for complex assemblies such as car seats, marine upholstery, and industrial fabric covers.
With advanced material property settings and accurate surface relaxation, it delivers precise, production-ready results.

Material Simulation & Adjustable Flattening Parameters

Includes flexible material settings that simulate stretch, strain, and compression during surface flattening.
Define global or local strain targets to fine-tune pattern fit, ensuring realistic fabric behavior across every 2D pattern.
With adjustable target strain, isotropic or orthotropic material options, and surface optimization algorithms, it gives full control over fit accuracy and material efficiency.

Fast 2D Pattern Layout & Assembly Tools

Speed up your 2D digital pattern making with intuitive layout and assembly tools.
Easily arrange 2D pattern pieces to reflect the final sewn geometry, automatically add seams, and create accurate notches and alignment marks.
These 3D to 2D flattening tools are designed to improve precision, reduce errors, and boost productivity, helping you achieve better patterns faster than ever.

Seamless CAD, Scan & Cutter Integration

Connects directly to your 3D and digital manufacturing workflow.
Users can import scan data, 3D data, or mesh files, and export clean 2D patterns in DXF, PDF, or other file formats ready for cutting machines.
Built-in cutter profiles and export options make it easy to link your digital workflow from modeling to production—whether in automotive, marine, or composite applications.

ExactFlat for Built for Automotive, Marine & Industrial Applications

From car seats and boat covers to composite panels, it streamlines the 3D to 2D flattening process for industries that rely on precision and efficiency.
It enables better fit, faster processing, and accurate surface flattening of complex 3D shapes, giving professionals an exclusive digital pattern-making solution.

How can I activate EXModel?

EXModel requires an activation license. Before purchasing, you can request a trial license from SHINING 3D using the button provided above. If you have already purchased the license, please

Can I try EXModel before I buy?

SHINING 3D offers a 30-day free trial for you to experience EXModel. By clicking “Get EXModel Pro” after activating the trial license, you’ll have 15 days within the 30-day trial period to explore all Pro features. Request a trial license from SHINING 3D using the botton provided above. For instructions on activating the software, please visit the

What can I do with EXModel Pro?

3D scanners create “meshes” that are good for visualization and 3D printing but not for tasks like drawing or measuring. To use them for these tasks, you need to convert the mesh into a precise “CAD model.”- a parametric representation of the forming surfaces. Since meshes capture imperfections, tools like EXModel or EXModel Pro are needed to create a perfect CAD model.
How much time do I need to complete a training course?

Users say they began using EXModel effectively in less than a week and got familiar with the main functions in just a few hours. EXModel is equipped with easy-to-use, AI-driven tools for extracting features from your 3D scan, and a fast, intuitive user interface. The best way to start your training is with our detailed, step-by-step video tutorials:
