InflateCrv

InflateCrv

Give curves a dimensional, puffy look with just a few clicks.

A True Time-Saver

InflateCrv quickly transforms closed curves into smooth, inflated forms, giving you control over thickness and corner softness. It’s an easy way to move from flat profiles to dimensional geometry, providing that “puffy” look without complex surfacing.

Draft Angle

The DraftAngle setting can help to speed up production by minimizing 3D printer supports, as well as allowing parts to release from molds with ease.

Wide Range of Applications

From jewelry and sign making, to inflatables and packaging, InflateCrv can save a considerable amount of modeling time.
