3D Design in Adobe® Illustrator®

Strata Enfold 3D CX allows you to create professional folded 3D designs directly in Adobe Illustrator. Define die-cut lines, folding scores, apply art and then see it in 3D.

Enfold 3D enhances Illustrator by adding two new tools, palettes for 3D and fold control, sophisticated distribution technology to deal with graphics crossing folded edges, and adds several commands streamlining the 3D design process. And when your design is done you can export the 3D model for presentations.

Powered by patent-pending technology developed by packaging powerhouse EskoArtwork, Enfold 3D is print design at a higher power.

From creative ideas to creative reality
3D Modeling 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.
