The advent of Industry 4.0 led to significant changes in the world of fashion and textiles, taking the integration and automation of machines to the next level.  Nowadays, in fact, there is a lot of talk about system autonomy, artificial intelligence, cloud technologies,  and much more. In this context, the application of CAD software systems has had a significant impact on the fashion industry,  improving the work of stylists and modelers.  We’ll talk about that later in this article. 

What is CAD software?

First, to talk about the solutions and advantages of these systems,  let’s understand what CAD software really is. The acronym CAD stands for ComputerAided Design and indicates the systems used to create drafts and draw using the computer.  This software was initially created for the design of industrial machines but since the 1970s, it started to spread throughout the world of textiles. 

Currently, CAD software is one of the most important tools for fashion designers because it simplifies the work of creating sketches, allowing designers to visualize trim, modeling, colors, shapes, and types of fabric accurately and quickly, in sketches and 3D digital models.  

Accordingly, this translates into concrete savings in terms of time and resources, since the drawings are much more accurate, easier to understand and carry out by modelers. Not only that, but the use of CAD software reduces production costs.  

Basically, having an accurate and detailed virtual model of the final product, designers will not need to create many pilot pieces, wasting materials. As a result, the ability to  keep the entire clothing  production cycle under control and to promptly  intervene with modifications, if necessary, also increases

How to choose the best solution for your needs?

Consequently, CAD software allows professionals to work more efficiently,  reducing the time between the initial idea and the concrete realization of the product. In a world where production speed is essential to satisfy increasingly demanding consumers, knowing how to use CAD software is essential. But, not only for designers but also for modelers and other professionals who want to keep up with the continuous and ever faster evolution of the fashion world. 

Basic features of CAD software for greater efficiency

• It is necessary to opt for CAD software made specifically for the fashion world. In this way, all the features are taken full advantage of, reaching all the needs of the sector.

• The platform should allow the creation of models directly on a three-dimensional mannequin, going beyond the basics of 3D design. This is because creating, visualizing, and simulating the fit of the different garments in the collection allows to accelerate their realization.

• The operation must be optimized, avoiding possible human errors, both by the designer and the modeler, who needs absolute precision in the creation of molds. 

• The software must be easy to use and intuitive. It is important that the support of specialized technicians is guaranteed, if necessary.
