Intoduction

Pattern design engineering is a niche element in the apparel design and production. Conventional, manual methods of pattern designing and grading requires skilled personal and time consuming. Use of computer aided design (CAD) systems have rendered much of the above exercises simple and precise.

Alterations/modifications, repeated routine operations at the touch of the key, efficient and interactive marker and costing layout, plotting and cutting of the graded patterns are some of the salient features of the CAD systems for apparel design.

The other significant advantages are


Material optimisation
Lead time minimisation
Enhanced storage and quick retrieval
Production planning
Costing analysis

The need for the trained manpower in CAD applications for apparel design & production is ever increasing and CLAD at CLRI offers specialised programmes in CAD applications in apparel design and Grading.
