Advantages for using 3D Simulation software in the Fashion design industry
3D Simulation offers the user a suite of tools that will
simulate all pre-production activities including stitching,
fitting, visualization, texture and color variation. This can
also be used as a communication tool between retailer,
subcontractor, designer, pattern maker, manufacturer, costing
and marketing departments. It allows the visualization of any
pattern modifications instantly in 3D, based on accurate CAD
patterns and real fabric characteristics.
The 3D simulation module is very helpful when you need
confirmation from a client regarding fitting or measurement
problems. You can send 3D images of the garment with the fitting
and measurement problems and also another sample view with the
suggested measurement change incorporated as per your pattern
master or the technician for faster confirmations from the
buying house or buyer instead of actually sending the garment or
query for revised spec sheet, as it is a very time consuming
process. Presenting any problem with pictures makes it easier to
decipher the problem compared to verbally explaining the same.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words!
Using 3D simulation software can reduce product development
time and the cost involved in multiple iterations of sample
garment production.
The highly detailed parametric mannequin usually has numerous
precise adjustable body measurements, including several posture
positions that can be saved for multiple usage - buyer wise or
segment wise, size wise etc. Users can create their own specific
base size mannequins, saving a great amount of time during
fittings.
