S D S -ONE also functions as a full-featuredapparel CAD system, with comprehensivepatternmaking, grading and marking (PGM)functions for creating and fine-tuning patterns forall apparel applications. Patternmaking isespecially important for quality shaping andWHOLEGARMENT ng6MarkingGrading

Patternmaking With SDS -ONE’s patternmaking software, high-quality patterns can be createdeasily. Comprehensive drawing and editing functions allow detailed controlapproaching that of manual patternmaking.MarkingIn addition to manual marking, SDS -ONE’s marking software featuresultra-high speed automatic marking for instant creation of markers. Thesoftware is also capable of creating markers in sequence, allowing fullyautomated marking of multiple jobs overnight.GradingCorrect sizing of products can be achieved withgrading software. Users can choose betweenpitch-formula and rule-formula grading. Withsuch high-quality grading features as line-checkand automatic pitch calculation, optimumgrading pitch can be worked out for eachproduct size.7

MappingLoop simulation images are mapped ontophotos of existing samples for a realisticrepresentation of how the final productwill look. These images can be usedfor presentations as well as for visualmerchandising (VMD).Yarn DesignFrom designing original yarns fromscratch, to arranging existing yarnsthat are scanned-in and simulating thetwisting of several yarns together, virtuallyspun yarns can be used in realistic loopsimulation to create convincing fabrictextures.Glove Loop SimulationIntarsia Loop SimulationSock Loop SimulationWHOLEGARMENT Loop Simulation11
