Its the Editor tool helps designers, pattern makers, and sewing contractors to create 3D clothing samples using digital avatars based on more than 15 body measurements.
The software offers AI assistance for semi-automatic digital sample stitching and imports DXF patterns from Optitex, Gerber, Grafis, and Lectra, according to ShareCloth’s website.
“At ShareCloth, we believe that fashion should be digitised. It’ll help the industry to sell and produce far more efficient and sustainable. That is why we created the Editor, a desktop tool to generate apparel 3D samples for digital product development and production,” the firm says.
