FAQ
Product questions
What is a flat pattern DXF?
It is the unfolded sheet metal geometry exported as DXF for laser, plasma, router, or CNC preparation.
Can Flat2DXF export from assemblies?
Yes. Standard and Professional reduce repeated manual flat pattern exports from assemblies.
Does the DXF still need review?
Yes. CAM setup and machine-specific checks should still be completed before production.
