PETACH TIKVA: A leading provider of software for the fashion and textile industries, OptiTex has announced a comprehensive industrial solution for the production and evaluation of customised garments at the mega textile exhibition IMB in Köln, Germany, Ran Machtinger, CEO of OptiTex said in a press release.
The CEO further clarified that the solution will allow to simulate the look of the finished garment, including the fall of the fabric, with the help of virtual models as well as to design virtual catwalks by means of immediate, intuitive interface.
The new OptiTex system, which integrates the different OptiTex modules into a unique solution, is designed to shorten the garment production cycle, simplify processes and minimize production costs.
The solution consists of four key elements: A CAD (Computer-aided Design) for pattern design; Modulate Made-to-Measure, a parameter-based modeling tool which enables the customization of basic patterns to varying parameters; 3D Runway – a virtual ‘try it on’ system that simulates the worn garments on three-dimensional mannequins according to user defined parameters.
The use of these elements in an industrial production environment solves a host of problems even before they become such as it is possible to fit the garment before the prototype is cut or sewn and then modify the patterns accordingly.
Further it is also possible to use a three-dimensional scanner that reads human measurements by means of innovative scanning technology so as to create three-dimensional mannequins that can be dressed.
Ran Machtinger also said that in addition to provide an excellent tool for precise design of production process, the new solution is an effective marketing and sales aid to the various departments.
OptiTex specialises in the development of innovative easy-to-operate 2D 3D CAD/CAM solutions for sewn products and other related industries. OptiTex’s open architecture system comes amply equipped with a multitude of import/export formats, enabling OptiTex users to interface with a wide range of software and hardware.
OptiTex also offers the convenient option of purchasing a completely integrated CAD package, including OptiTex software solutions, digitizer, and pen or ink jet plotter.
