Key Features for 3D Virtual Sampling of Knitwear! —Dedicated Tools for 3D Modeling and Knitwear Design
The fashion industry operates on relatively fast trend cycles, requiring new designs each season. With the challenge of shortening lead times in garment production, the time spent on sample creation is a major concern.
To minimize the need for actual samples, we propose the use of virtual samples. Virtual samples allow you to check designs and silhouettes without actual samples, enabling easy, cost-effective, and frequent revisions and simulations. By thoroughly examining these virtual samples before creating actual ones, you can avoid wasting materials like fabrics, achieving sustainable production.
