A pattern for success

Theres a reason why over 27,000 pattern makers worldwide use Optitex. They found their pattern for success - both for their sewn products and their business. Optitex provides a complete all-in-one pattern making solution tailored to the needs of all sewn industries. It delivers the competitive advantages you need to win in your market:

Faster time to market

Optitex eliminates hundreds of manual steps in the design process with features like:

Digitizing of complicated pieces in seconds - faster and more accurate than most scanners Responsive grading - fine tune control of each size Walk a pattern while you correct the shape, add a notch, smooth a line whatever! Advanced pattern imports with every layer intact (darts remain darts, pleats remain pleats, etc.) Efficient mouse clicking and multi-tools to speed pattern development A compare length box that compares line lengths of multiple pattern segments, stores them and updates automatically Tools with combined features to complete a task rather than each step

Dynamic Measurement Chart: PDS shows all measurements right on the pattern. Changes in the pattern are reflected dynamically in the chart. Changes in the chart are automatically reflected in the pattern.

A superior design experience

Focus on the design, not the software:
A work environment designers can tailor to their own needs The ability to visualize the measurements on different styles Extensive control over internals like notches, buttons, drill holes Fabric definitions while drafting and editing pieces - import or scan

No hardware lock-in
Mix and match hardware to fit your needs:
Optitex supports the widest range of plotters, cutters, digitizers and any other hardware you are working with Import and export to and from all major CAD formats (DXF, AAMA, ASTM and others) Convert files to and from the most popular CAD systems

Easy to use
Faster learning = more productivity
Training time measured in days vs. weeks with competitive solutions Windows-based system runs on any standard PC Click anywhere to see context sensitive menus - hover over a tool to see its hot key or over a line to see its center point Moving a point shows x, y, length and angle of movement - mouse locks in that direction and guidelines appear automatically

Integrate pattern making with 3D modeling

Optitex Pattern Making integrates seamlessly with the Optitex 3D Design solution:

View your style on different body types Create 3D Samples to see overall design, look and feel Incorporate buttons and zippers as actual 3D objects, not just images Communicate virtual samples to and from factories

Parametric 3D Modeling An accurate model, is the most vital aspect of 3D Sampling. Changes to the patterns automatically appear on the model. Preset Models allow you to configure a number of different body types so you can immediately see how changes in your pattern will look- before you sew a single stitch!

Tailored To All Sewn Industries

Optitex pattern making software is tailored to meet the needs of all sewn products manufacturers: automotive, upholstery, apparel, and composite material. Darts, seam allowance, special corners, advanced measurement techniques, pleats, complicated curves, dimension modifications, and facings, are all fitted to the trade.
