Powerful new features and capabilities

Export marker data in ASTM XML format
Easily integrate customized plug-ins (PDM/ PLM system, etc.)
Effortlessly calculate splices using the automated Optimized Splicing tool
Print barcodes for piece descriptions, reports, and other information (optional add-on)

CUTTING ROOM OPTIMIZATION SUITE

CutPlan

Optimize each order by calculating the minimal required number of tables
Integrate different styles, sizes, colors, and fabrics in a single cut plan
Generate detailed spreading information for multi-colored orders
Accurately project and calculate order production costs
Streamline workflows with end-to-end visibility of cutting room operation
Incorporate Automatic Nesting for maximum marker efficiency

Align complex images on fabrics with the Match ++ optional module. Incorporating Match ++ with Automatic Nesting lets you quickly, efficiently and precisely nest fabric pieces that have virtually any design.

Roll Management (Optional add-on)

Integrate stock room data into your cut room order

Automatically assign individual rolls of different widths to specific markers
Optimize fabric inventory utilization in line with priorities, such as old stock, minimum wastage, and more
Ensure your cut order is synchronized with current fabric stocks

MARKER MAKING SUITE – The complete solution for fast, easy and accurate marker making
Boost your business excellence by eliminating complexity from your marker making workflow. With the Marker Making Suite, you can accurately calculate the cost to fulfill any customer order, and dramatically reduce material costs with highly efficient, automatic nesting.

Marker
Dramatically reduce marker making complexity, time, and waste:

Control and group placement of pieces on the marker by virtually any attribute
Place restrictions on markers such as fabric types and orientation of pieces
Place, select, rotate, and flip pieces at will, even along the fold
Work in manual or fully automated mode
Generate a report of material usage and cost calculations for each run for export to Excel
Automatically mark around unusable sections of materials while maximizing usage of remaining materials
Create new sizes and support complex variation grading
Use the shortest possible cut route with automatic selection of optimal start point and cutting sequence
Improve quality control by activating cutting direction constraints (clockwise or counter-clockwise)
Reduce cut time and increase cutter life with automatic single cutting of shared cut lines

O/DEV 3D SAMPLING SUITE
Save time and fuel creativity with powerful and flexible 3D visualization of your designs. With 3D Sampling Suite, you can turn your flat patterns into 3D models and immediately see the results of any changes to the pattern. Gain insight into how adjustments in style, fit, color, fabric type, and design features will affect the final sewn product, and make more decisions while still in the design environment.

3D Creator – See true-to-life 3D models
