Eliminate the guesswork and instantly transform complex 3D designs into production-ready flat blanks, accelerating your entire manufacturing process.

CI Unfold delivers the precise flat bank sizes critical for flawless bend simulation and accurate laser cutting. To streamline your fabrication workflow, this 3D modeling bridge integrates exclusively with CI Cut and CI Bend.

Ramp up your bend simulation and laser nesting with the intuitive power of CI Unfold.

CI Unfold is programmed with these key features

  • Universal 3D Compatibility

    Never turn away a job because of a file format again! CI Unfold effortlessly imports a massive array of 3D solid models, including native formats like .sldprt, .step, .sat, .ipt, and more.

  • Precision Unfolding

    Accurately generate the perfect flat blank for your press brake or laser nesting software. CI Unfold ensures the correct dimensions every time, minimizing material waste and eliminating costly production errors.

  • Seamless Integration

    CI Unfold is the perfect precursor to both Bend Sim PRO (for simulation) and Nesting PRO (for cutting), providing a smooth, error-free transfer of 3D geometry into your downstream programming tools.

  • Empower Your Fabrication Team

    Even without a full solid modeling program license, your fabricators can accept and process virtually any customer-supplied 3D file format, giving your business a massive competitive edge.

  • Flexible Licensing to Scale Your Team

    Equip your entire department with the tools they need! Choose from our flexible licensing options to match your team's size: select a Network License for either 2 or 5 simultaneous users. Plus, easily extend your access with a 1-year License Extension to ensure uninterrupted 3D unfolding functionality, allowing you to seamlessly integrate unfolded parts directly into CI Bend software and CI Cut laser software.
