INFLATE v2.0
INFLATE v2.0 is an interactive, browser-based 2D-to-3D cloth and pneumatic membrane simulation engine that operates as a lightweight web alternative to software like CLO3D or Marvelous Designer. The platform features a dual-viewport interface that bridges 2D CAD pattern drafting with real-time 3D soft-body physics. Designers can draw vector patterns with Bézier control points, define sewing constraints along outer or inner edges, and position pattern pieces in 3D space. Upon launching the simulation, the engine calculates seam pulling, material tension, and internal air pressure to inflate complex soft-goods in real time.

Key Features
- 2D CAD Pattern Vector Engine: Supports Bézier node editing, inner seam lines, cutouts, real-time millimeter measurements, and SVG vector export.
- Interactive 3D Seam Assembly: Allows edge-to-edge seam definition with directional flip toggles and multi-stage pre-sewing constraint solvers.
- Real-Time Pneumatic Physics: Simulates internal air pressure, tensile membrane stiffness ($E \cdot t$), bending resistance, and strain heatmaps.
- 3D Spatial Layout Gizmos: Includes interactive translation and rotation gizmos (
W/Ekeys) to position 2D flat patterns prior to simulation. - Constrained Triangulation: Dynamically triangulates 2D vector patterns into customizable 3D mesh resolutions using Delaunator and Three.js.
