CLO3D

German:
CLO3D

CLO3D is software that turns flat pattern pieces into a simulated garment on an avatar. Fabric behaviour, fit and drape can be judged on screen before any fabric is cut.

In the file

The point of the digital fitting is speed: a change to the pattern shows on the avatar within seconds, so several variants can be compared before a single toile is sewn. A paper pattern gets into CLO3D through PACX with editable curves. CLO3D also reads DXF, which is the route when the pattern comes out of pattern CAD.
