Description

Pointcarre is a complete professional textile CAD software that runs natively on both Mac and PC within a single application, a unique combination found in no other solution on the market. It covers the full spectrum of textile design: Jacquard and dobby weaving, digital, rotary and screen printing, jersey knitting, tufting, carpet design and 3D mapping to visualize fabrics realistically on photographs. All modules are integrated into one program, so designers move seamlessly from one discipline to another without switching software. The software ships with more than 4,000 weave structures and includes Pantone, ColorCSI and the Archroma Color Atlas color libraries free of charge. It connects directly to the main industrial machines on the market: looms from Stäubli, Bonas, Itema, Picanol and Dornier, tufting machines from CMC, Tuftco, Vandewiele and Modra, and knitting machines from Stoll and Karl Mayer. Pointcarre is the only textile CAD software with built-in artificial intelligence. Design Maker generates patterns from an inspiration image while respecting the designer's style, Repeat Maker turns any motif into a seamless repeat automatically, and AI Upscaling enhances the resolution of small designs. Jacquard Maker, which builds a complete Jacquard construction instantly, and Natural Blend Color, which simulates ink blending on rotary machines, are exclusive features available nowhere else. With 40 years of experience, Pointcarre is used worldwide by mills, design studios and freelancers in more than 120 countries, and is taught in leading textile design schools and universities, including every NIFT campus in India and NC State in the United States. The company is known for its world-class support, available by phone, chat, email and remote control.

Description

Fit is assessed in motion, simulating realistic virtual fitting sessions. Each frame is evaluated while the model rotates, allowing for a detailed inspection of how snugly or loosely the garment fits. TUKA3D conveys the comfort level of the clothing through five distinct visual methods during 3D virtual sampling, showcasing aspects such as stretch, warp, weft, pressure, and x-ray. The software includes a continuously updated library of fabrics and trims, featuring elements like 3D-threaded buttons, to keep pace with emerging trends, along with access to the Pantone color library for precise color matching. While applying prints and logos is straightforward in TUKA3D’s material editor, users also have the option to link with graphic design software such as Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator for creating intricate design layouts that enhance the 3D virtual sampling process. This flexibility allows designers to innovate and refine their creations in a highly detailed and visually dynamic environment.
