Consumers are increasingly demanding in all markets. They want the widest possible choice and a steady stream of new designs. As a consequence, manufacturers are under pressure to renew their product lines frequently. Industry is responding by continuously shortening the time needed to design, develop and select products, and by reducing the costs of this cycle. One way to achieve this strategically vital goal is to reduce the number of prototypes required. Lectra has enriched its technology offering, by introducing dedicated prototyping solutions, helping customers achieve this aim. Specific versions exist for each market sector, combining design, flattening 3D models into 2D patterns, pattern-making, digital fabric printing, and automated fabric cutting. In the apparel industry, for example, it used to take six weeks to create the prototype of a lady’s dress from a rough sketch, now it can be done in just three hours.
