Advantages and Types of CAD software

Corel draws, Adobe illustrator, Adobe Photoshop are popular programmes used by designers in various fields and several companies publish software.

TYPES OF CAD SOFTWARE

 

Software developers have benefited immensely by developing various CAD software. Various CAD software offer two-dimensional designs, as well as three-dimensional designs. CAD has made it possible for two people in two remote corners of the world to design and create new products using CAD software through the Internet. Artists, mechanical, electronics and civil engineers, architects and interior decorators use CAD software to aid in their designing process.

 

Designers have two kinds of CAD software to choose, either use the existing 2-D CAD software or go for more advanced 3-D CAD software. Some applications are inherently 2-D based. AutoCAD, Cad key, CADDS 5, Medusa, and CATIA v4 are examples of 2D CAD software.

 

DESIGNING SOFTWARE

 

Corel draws, Adobe illustrator, Adobe Photoshop are popular programmes used by designers in various fields and several companies publish software.

2 Adobe Illustrator

 

Adobe illustrator is the designing and pattern making software. Illustrator is not a tailor made fashion application. It can also do many other things that fashion specific applications can't. Illustrator is a very powerful tool for any graphic design work you can throw at. It is in many ways a jack of all trades, capable of doing a range of tasks such as graphic design, fashion sketches, fashion illustration, trim design, fashion prints and so on. Illustrator is at first, a fashion design production tool by fashion design production. These will then be of a high standard. to be sent straight to the factory, to start prototypes production.

 

Adobe illustrator has long been considered the norm for drawing technically correct and detailed plans of-* flats. However, some industry individuals comment that the computer generated flats have a sense of looking 'too perfect' regardless of your preference, if there is a hand drawn flat that needs to be copied to look very technical.

 

3 Adobe Photoshop

 

In designing, Photoshop is ever evolving and is primarily marked for the photo retouching and graphic design industries. It will never truly address the full needs of the textile market. However it is a great stepping stone for designers to begin their journey with CAD.


PATTERN MAKING SOFTWARE

 

Gerber : Computer aided design, commonly referred to as CAD, Gerber is known as a leading supplier in high technology and solutions. The company develops hardware and software to automate pattern design, grading and marker making. Since the 1960s, it offers solutions for companies to remain up-to-date with technology and fashion. Their goal is to help designers and pattern makers work as efficiently as possible in an automated environment for a quick turnaround of final designs garments and products. Gerber technology is used in the apparel, furniture, transportation, industrial fabrics and composites industries. If it is a sewn product, it is likely to be created on a Gerber system.

 

Pattern Designing Software (PDS) is widespread in Germany and Italy. The other new develop-ment in the market place of system software is Pattern Generation Software (PGS). At present the two packages have been used called conex and PGS.

 

ADVANTAGES OF CAD

 

Easy to operate designing system- CAD has many advantages.

 

            The expense and time is reduced in a considerable manner when compared to the laborious manual work of designing.

 

            Designing can be done from anywhere, as the customers are able to control the process from remote locations as well.

 

            The data can be easily stored, transmitted, and transported through computer files.

 

            Digital swatches can be saved on floppy disks, zip disks, CD-ROM or hard drive thus saving space. Moreover they can be easily organized for fast and easy retrieval.

 

            The designs can be easily customized and personalized as corrections and editing can be done at any time without significant delays or cost increases.

 

            The designers do not need to produce swatches all the time as they can now see how a particular fabric or garment looks in different colors and shapes on the computer screen itself.
