Print Design at a Higher Power! Powered by patent-pending technology developed by EskoArtwork, Strata Enfold 3D CX allows you to create professional folded 3D designs directly in Adobe Illustrator. Use linked Photoshop graphics applied to 2D Illustrator artwork, define die-cut lines and folding scores, and then see it in 3D directly in Illustrator. Print ready designs can then be sent for production or just use your own printer for one-off designs and mock-ups. Export the finished 3D model to the Strata 3D CX Suite for further design work and visualization. But Strata Enfold 3D CX is much more than just folding technology. Enfold 3D adds two new tools to the tool palette, offers sophisticated distribution technology to deal with graphics crossing folded edges, includes two palettes for 3D and fold control, and several commands streamlining the 3D design process. From creative ideas to creative reality
3D Modelling Right in Adobe Illustrator
Strata Enfold 3D CX puts the power of 3D directly into Adobe Illustrator CS3 and CS4. Define areas to print, cut and fold. Interactively fold one or more creases using the Fold dialog to see your design become 3D in real-time. Make adjustments and see changes immediately in the Enfold 3D View palette. Fold Existing Art into 3D Designs
You don't have to start with a purpose-built folding design. You can take existing art - whether you originally intended it for folding or not - and take it to the next level. This includes greeting cards, boxes, packaging, point of purchase designs and more. Rotate the Illustrator Canvas to Match the 3D View
If you've ever worked on a folded box design in Illustrator you know that some panels will have artwork running up to down, down to up - and even upside down. Working on this art - particularly in context of the individual panel - can be a real challenge. Strata Enfold 3D CX lets you simply double click on the desired panel in the 3D View palette to zoom and rotate the Illustrator art board to that same panel. Put Graphics Across Seams with Powerful Distribute Feature
Possibly the most important feature in Enfold 3D is the Distribute feature. If you've ever attempted to workout a folded design that requires art to match-up across folds you know what a challenge that can be. Strata Enfold 3D CX automates this difficult design task. Generate Print-Ready Packaging and Card Designs
With Enfold 3D you don't have to guess or do time consuming physical mock-ups just to work out the design details. A design completed in Adobe Illustrator and Strata Enfold 3D CX will be ready to print and fold in the real world. Integrate with the Strata 3D CX Suite Products
Printing and folding doesn't have to be your only output options. You can also export the 3D model for using in applications like Strata Design 3D CX. From there your design can be replicated for palette and POP visualizations, photo matching to see how your design will look in a specific location, and even "beauty shots" can be created before any inventory is available. Strata tools are an integral component in an effective consumer product design workflow. Start with capturing product elements to build packaging around. Create using folding designs directly in Illustrator. Model using superior subdivision surface technology. Render photo-real images and animations. Output real-time to the web and PDF. Strata adds value at every step. In-Depth Feature List: Illustrator Interface Additions-
