DesignConcept - 3D to 2D design software for upholstery

Whether for traditional furniture or for more complex contemporary models, DesignConcept on photo-realistic end-product simulations eliminate the need for many costly, time-consuming physical prototypes and reduce the lead-time of the decision-making process.

DesignConcept:

- shortens the crucial prototyping stage,

- reduces the number of physical prototypes,

- lowers associated costs.

It enables companies to explore a multitude of creative possibilities and virtual variants, in order to offer a larger variety of choices and to facilitate decision making, well before production. This digital chain, associated with the highest performing cutting solutions on the market, simplifies, automates, and accelerates the production processes.
Lectra’s offer combines performance and responsiveness to guarantee the required quality of the finished product, significant material savings, an optimized production capacity, and faster time-to-market. 

Lectra’s offer covers 3D design, shape development and corresponding flattening into 2D, nesting, and automated cutting of all kinds of materials, whether fabric or leather.
DesignConcept, 3D software, which integrates all product components—frame, foam, and upholstery—enables designers to explore a multitude of creative options and virtual variants, optimize production costs, and study technical feasibility.

Starting with digital models, Lectra’s software simulates and rapidly adapts pattern shapes to the physical properties of each material and to the padding constraints. It delivers all the technical production data, then prepares automated nesting and cutting in record time. For leather, Lectra’s state-of-the-art digitizer evaluates the cutting zone quality with great precision.
