Pattern Design System (PDS) offers intuitive and powerful tools designed for drafting new patterns or editing existing pattern pieces. Movable toolbars and dialog boxes allow each design engineer to create their own working environment. Icon and tools are organised by functionality order: The “Compare Length” dialog box is used to compare line lengths of multiple pattern segments while the “Insert Toolbar” is used to add pleats, seam allowance, drill holes, notches, and text.
PDS provides a full suite of features and functions designed with all sewn products manufacturers in mind. Tools such as darts, seam allowance, special corners, advanced measurement techniques, pleats, complicated curves, dimensional changing, and facings, are all fitted to the specific trade.
Marker Making
Combine your marker making expertise with OptiTex™ automatic and interactive optimization textile marker making software.
OptiTex™ manual, automatic and interactive textile Marker Making software generates nested layouts at lightening speed while minimizing material waste. OptiTex™ textile Mark Module is designed to maximize productivity and minimize labor and material costs. Save time and money while cutting down on wasted fabric.
Automatic Grading
OptiTex’s unique automatic and manual grading methods are designed to make cumbersome grading painless. Grade darts, pleats, buttons, lines, other internal contours and elements in a fast and easy manner. Angle grading simplifies grading on difficult points, while complicated grading on notches and split parts is simplified with built-in dialog boxes. Variation (alteration) grading for interim sizes is particularly important for products like jackets, jeans and more.
Intuitive software combined with sophisticated grading features makes even difficult grading swift and accurate. Sizes are easy to recognise using OptiTex Grade’s built in color-coding. Grade rules can be made either for single points or for entire pieces, while entire grade libraries are exportable into other applications such as Microsoft Excel.
OptiTex Nesting
OptiTex`s powerful new Nest++2 Advanced Automatic Nesting application incorporates an intelligent algorithm for nesting, thus delivering better results than those achieved manually.
With Nest++2 you can control the run-time and obtain fast results. Nest++2 can also be used to obtain precise cost proposals for clients, during price negotiations.
Nest++2 increases material efficiency drastically, elevates overall nesting standards and reduces time and labor. The `Nesting Queue` generates complete, multiple nests, automatically using unattended, overnight processing. Data from the queue is organized in spreadsheet format to allow easy comparison of efficiency, nest lengths, widths and process time.
3D Runway Designer
OptiTex 3D Runway fashion software is a realistic cloth simulation / cloth modeling software system based on accurate CAD patterns and real fabric characteristics.Using OptiTex™ 3D Garment Draping and 3D Visualization software system - designers, pattern makers, and retailers can visualize any pattern modifications instantly in full 3D.
Using OptiTex 3D Runway fashion software will reduce product development time, cost of multiple iterations of sample garment production, enhance quality of products due to use of accurate modeling system software, analyze fabric behavior, proof-fitting assumptions, and provide a graphical collaboration tool for all involved in the product development process. It also provides an excellent tool for sales and merchandising, with easy to use virtual storyboards.
Modulate
Modulate is an interactive, parametric, Made-to-Measure (MTM) engine. Defining certain dimensions of the product designated for alteration allows for customisation of the product. For example, a parametric jacket can be defined using dimensions annotated as “Shoulder”, “Bust”, “Waist”, and “Hips”. The user can visualise each step of operation while defining the parametric model. When you drag the “Shoulder” dimension with the mouse, Modulate recalculates the entire jacket accordingly. The immediate effect is displayed on the screen. If the change did not produce the desired result, then change the dimension again on the spot; or alternatively add or remove other constraints.
Once the parametric jacket has been full defined, modification to the jacket can be visualised interactively by simply entering new values for the dimensions. These values can be saved in a ‘Variable library’ for future use. All specifications, dimensions, styles, and orders are maintained in a standard database for repeat orders. Modulate streamlines your company’s method of generating Made-To-Measure patterns. Patterns from other non-Optitex CAD systems can be imported for use with Modulate. The modified patterns are then automatically arranged for efficient plotting or cutting. Modulate works seamlessly with other Optitex products such as PDS and 3D Runway.
Marker Module
OptiTex Marker module is designed to maximise productivity and minimise labor and material costs. Utilise maximum flexibility while marking patterns. Change quantities, marker dimensions, number of plies, layout mode and all system parameters at any stage of operation.
Optimise cut sequence for an entire nest all at once or by individual piece. Modify cutting direction of individual pieces or use the powerful “Shared Lines” feature for common line cutting on automatic cutting equipment.
Nest++2*: Powerful, fast and flexible automatic nesting
OptiTex’s new Advanced Automatic Nesting application incorporates an intelligent algorithm for nesting, delivering comparable, and often better results than achieved manually. Only the basic marker parameters require definition, while Nest++2* takes care of the rest by automatically generating an extremely tight marker. Nest++2* respects all existing constraints such as directional rotation, tilt allowance, and time limits given for each marker.
Nest++2* keeps the runtime extremely fast and can also be used to acquire precise cost proposals for clients during price negotiations. Nest++2* increases material efficiency drastically, elevates overall nesting standards, and reduces time and labor.
Direct Converters
OptiTex Direct Converters are compact software applications that read and convert most of other competitive CAD/CAM piece files, Model and Order native data, directly into OptiTex format. Direct Converters save precious time by eliminating data transfer difficulties that can occur when using standard transfer formats such as DXF and
AAMA, even when used by inexperienced operators.
OptiTex’ Direct Converters are extremely easy and effective. Direct and accurate conversion of hundreds of other CAD/CAM files is completed in a matter of seconds, with no post processing required.
Converter1Converter for Gerber (GGT) piece, model and order data into OptiTex native format files.
Converter2Converter for Investronica piece, model and order data into OptiTex native format files.
Converter3Converter for Lectra piece (IBA and VET formats), model and order data into OptiTex native format files.
Converter4Converter for Microdynamic piece, model and order data into OptiTex native format files.
