Creating model parts

Complete the model parts definition and/ or create additional specific geometry of your model parts.

Define the parts and prepare them for nesting and cutting, using the tools for:
- Rotation rules for nesting optimization.
- Automatic creation of notches, fillets, drills, and stencils.
- Automatic definition of margins and overlaps.

Parts preparation for Printed Cut & Pattern Matching

Based on high resolution images, define, and apply reference points, for subsequent material printing and - during later production - automatic recognition and cut of printed parts.

Define the optimization rules for automatic nesting of parts.

Using nesting tools, prepare the printing template for digital printing on roll materials.

Complete the preparation of parts, defining the alignment and matching rules between parts – thus respecting the defined material virtual pattern.

Apply reference points, for subsequent automatic model alignment with the material real pattern.

The automatic pattern recognition and alignment will occur during the later cutting phase, with the patterned material already placed in the cut machine.

Integration

Tight integration with MindCUT software for automatic nesting and cutting.

Full integration and data exchange with MindGEST PDM, a centralized information repository for products and processes.

Interoperability with MindGEST Cost Evaluation for cost assessment based on product engineering options and production scenarios.

Model parts digitizing

Import and digitizing using a 2D digitizing tablet.

Automatic digitizing of parts using a flatbed scanner.

Support for multiple digitizing devices, including large format scanners, or capture tables based on digital cameras, namely our fully integrated MindCAD Part Scan.

Setup & capture

A digital camera captures the parts and vectorizes boundaries.

Fine-tune the capture parameters, based on parts material characteristics.

Place and distribute the patterns on the capture area, the digital camera captures the part or set of parts.

Contour extraction and vectorization

The resulting digital data is processed to extract, organize and classify specific features - notches, punches, markings and text.

The digital data is processed to extract contours.

The parts’ contour, holes and internal lines are vectorized.

Define & apply rules

The features extraction process is flexible and configurable according to a dictionary of shapes and features.

Define and apply rules for point filtering, feature detection (notches, punches, text) and define assembling margins.

Fine-tune part features

The flexibility of the solution allows you to handle parts of different dimensions, and to capture multiple parts at the same time.

The scanned parts can be grouped to form models.

You can refine rules to enhance specific features, such as rounding notches to optimize the cutting process.

Collaborative & Strategic Planning

Effective planning is crucial for any successful apparel collection. By embracing digital tools, apparel brands and manufacturers can optimize their planning processes. This involves ensuring consistent and up-to-date communication throughout the entire collection creation process. This unified approach ensures that all stakeholders work with reliable information, minimizing errors and fostering better collaboration. Improved transparency, reduced delays, and a seamless flow of information result from this approach, ultimately leading to streamlined operations, increased efficiency, and improved profitability across the entire supply chain.

Bringing Designs to Life

Design is at the core of every apparel collection and plays a vital role in bringing creativity and innovation to life. Our cutting-edge solutions empower fashion brands and designers to optimize their design processes, streamline collaboration, and unleash their creative potential. The result – best-selling garments that resonate with your target market.

Ensuring Fit Consistency Across Sizes

The fit stage is crucial for achieving optimal comfort and style in garments. With our 3D clothing design software, VStitcher, apparel brands and manufacturers can streamline collaboration, optimize fit processes, and deliver impeccably fitting garments across all sizes. VStitcher sets itself apart by providing a true-to-life fit experience, accurately simulating fabric drape and movement in the digital realm. This innovative feature ensures that the virtual representation of garments mirrors the real-world fit, allowing designers to create and refine designs confidently.

Expediting Sales and Reducing Costs

Transforming the landscape of product sales, our innovative approach integrates seamlessly into the broader strategy of enhancing brand visibility, engaging customers, and driving sales. Apparel organizations benefit from our advanced solutions, which go beyond traditional methods by optimizing selling processes through 3D digital catalogs, virtual showrooms, and customization capabilities. Stylezone allows for merchandising and selling from any location at any time, breaking free from the constraints of physical spaces.
