TôlerieCAD in 1 minute
From a drawn outline to a folded, drilled and animated part; standard parts, faceted STEP unfolding and the surfaces workshop.
Recorded with the French interface; the software also runs in your language.
Demonstrations
Demo videos and files
Watch the videos, then open the same parts in TôlerieCAD during your free trial.
Warped surface: from sketch to DXF
Two rails, a warped ruled surface, a Ø80 hole drilled in 3D, a flat pattern faceted in triangles, DXF export.
Recorded with the French interface; the software also runs in your language.

Flat patterns
File → Open DXF (Ctrl+O). The part is folded at once; the Bends tab lists angles and radii.
Folded parts
File → Open STEP (Ctrl+Shift+O). The flat pattern is calculated and the thickness detected on solids.
Surfaces workshop
Design → 3D Surfaces, then Open…. Edit curves and bends, then Send flat patterns.
