inDustryprofessionalsIn a dicult macroeconomic climate that makes the uture o

the manuacturing sector increasingly uncertain, now more

than ever, ashion companies need to combine feibility

and responsiveness when nalizing their collections.

In the ready-to-wear sector, companies are nding new ways

to cope with the growing pressure to reduce costs; they are

being orced to manage their development cycles and their

stocks strictly and careully. The speed o collection renewal

imposed by the ast ashion business model has also prompted

certain brands to adopt a more balanced sourcing strategy by

returning to suppliers closer to home. The need or creativity

is elt more keenly than ever beore: companies are required

to bring to market products that blend originality, comort

and practicality, all at the right price. Products that ulll allthe requirements o t, comort and style have most chance

o succeeding with the target consumer, especially when they

have the added advantage o a recognized brand name.

In the luury sector, where a slowdown in growth was greatly

eared, the situation is more encouragingconsumers

attracted by these brands images have buoyed the market.

However, caution is advised: as a result o this success,

big names in the sector will be encouraged to etend their

product ranges in line with their original business activity in

order to capitalize on their power to raise aspirations.

Powerul, collaborative, business-oriented technology is

essential or all apparel companies in today's globalized

production environment. That is why, or more than 35 years,

Lectra has provided its customers with ever more powerul

KALEDO: THE CREATIVEREVOLUTION FOR TExTILE ANDGARMENT DESIGNERSDesigners have to be increasingly innovative and c reative

in order to produce collections more requently and with

a clearer appeal to the target customer. In addition to

ensuring that clothing lines are coherent, they need

to reinorce the companys deining concepts and

develop a strong brand image.Developed speciically or creative teams in the

ashion sector, the Kaledo range covers all their

requirements in textile and collection creation. A true

platorm or proessional design, Kaledo gives textile

and apparel designers the visual and virtual environ-

ment they need to create and manage apparel and

abric collections.

Powerul design tools stimulate artistic creativity

and accelerate the design and collaboration

process, reducing the need or repetitive manual

modications.

Kaledo paves the way or smooth communication

between designers and those in charge o product

development. Thus, by involving the whole develop-

ment teamdesigners, buyers, and pattern makers

and developers at an early stage in the design process,

sketches are made up intelligently, and each designs

integrity is preserved throughout the product lie cycle.

This accelerates the creation o storyboards and model

variants as well as the addition o updates. In a context

where demand or new products is high, Kaledo ensures

streamlined processes and signicant optimization

o the development cycle.

The result o more than 35 years o experience with

the biggest names in ashion, Lectra's Kaledo range

Kaledo supports our creativity and lets us speedup all the technical activities involved in design.

We're now ree to devote more time to innovation.

When we have an idea or a product, or a sketch

o a shirt or accessory, we can simply draw it

and modiy it in real time, whether were working

on textiles, styles or colors. With Kaledo, all our

decisions are made aster, because we can see the

options, very realistically, on-screen. Kaledo is a

tool that allows us to go straight rom a concept

In order to provide the b est oer possible to overcome

the particular constraints o these industries, Lectra

has developed three specially adapted models.

The VectorDenimMX ensures exceptional producti-

vity or jeans manuacturers working with even the

thickest materials. It guarantees the high levels o

are increasingly innovative and sophisticated.

Ideal or cutting the small pieces required or

lingerie, the VectorLingerieMX is equipped with

pilot sotware that adapts the machines behavior to

the deliacte and stretchable materials used in this

market. For maunacturers o knitted garments,

the VectorFashionMX9 is the most productive

model on the market, combining impressive cutting

speed, the capacity to cut thicker than normal spreads,

and exceptional quality.

Through a maintenance plan integrated into the Vector

ranges pilot sotware, Lectras solutions work in a

proactive mode. A system o alerts allows companies to

take action even beore malunction occurs; this limits

the need or intervention by Lectras technicians and

keeps machine down time to a minimum. To ensure

that the tools integration into the production site is

both ecient and reliable, the pilot sotware genera-

tes activity and productivity reports. This intelligent

system makes real improvements in a context where

the slightest delay can have serious consequences.

Our biggest challenge is to ensure the

highest possible cutting quality or all

the pieces used to make our products. Lingerie items contain several

components, which are oten small and intricately shaped. I those

components are not cut well, we need to ask our stitchers to make

corrections during the sewing process, which opens up the possibility

o lapses in quality. Lectra provided the best oer in terms o quality,eiciency and productivity. We installed the VectorLingerieMX in

our cutting room and perormed several cutting tests. We provided

eedback and worked together with Lectras R&D department to optimize

the cutters perormance. Our objective with this new Lectra cutter

was to cut 60 layers with buer zones o three millimeters. With the

VectorLingerieMX, we quickly reached our target. Cutting is 30% aster,

and reducing buer zones rom ive to three millimeters allowed us

to reduce abric consumption by 4%, which translates into an annual

saving o 500,000.

MODARIS:THE WORLDWIDE STANDARDFOR PATTERN-MAKINGDesigned to meet the needs o ashion companies

around the world in terms o lead times, quality, and

garment t, or more than 10 years, Modaris has been

the industry standard or the biggest names in ashion.

It is the most popular sotware among pattern makers,

with more than 22,000 licenses worldwide.At the crossroads between design and production,

Modaris enables users to create patterns or all types

o garmentmens wear, womens wear, childrens

wear, lingerie, corsetry, and even work clothes.

Totally job- and process-oriented, Modaris covers a

comprehensive range o unctions, including on-screen

management o models, digitization, pattern verication,

grading, size management, and pre-production.

Impressive capacities or data exchange with other CAD

systems on the market make Modaris an indispensable

application or networked companies (with multiple sites,

partners, and sub-contractors in several countries, etc.).

Modaris is suitable or all user proles and product

types.

MODARIS ExPERTPRO:A PRODUCTIVITY BOOST FOR THEPATTERN DEVELOPMENT OFFICEModaris ExpertPro is a unique sotware solution on

the market and is able to improve productivity by up

to 50%. It was developed at the end o the 1990s in

collaboration with the biggest names in ashion and

luxury goods to assist in the development o the most

complex, highest-quality collections.

Modaris ExpertPro allows users to create powerul

and intelligent associations between pattern elements

through two original concepts that together orm

Lectras unique approach to model creation. Modaris

ExpertPros all-size pattern-making system enables

companies to develop a model in all sizes in a single

step without having to go through the grading process

separately. The sotwares dynamic dependencies

concept gives users the ability to create links between

pattern elements so that any modications made to

one piece o a pattern are automatically transer red to all

dependent pieces. In this way, Modaris ExpertPro allows

pattern makers to organize the pattern development

process and keep a record o the way in which patterns

are constructed. Pattern designers can thus reuse 80

to 90% o the elements created or one collection as

the basis or a new one.

From the creation o the very irst collection using

this sotware, development times are reduced by 20

to 30% and go on decreasing, year ater year, as the

company builds its know-how, regardless o the team

in charge o development. Modaris ExpertPro has

established itsel as the best way to optimize deve-

lop-ment costs by making the best use o teams o

experienced pattern makers, who are now able to

cope with two to ive times more models than with

traditional pattern-making sotware.

Pushing back the boundaries o pattern-making

and providing ashion proessionals with the means

to increase productivity in pattern development and

create more models, Modaris ExpertPro is now

the pattern-making solution used by 80% o luxury

ready-to-wear brands in Europe.

In a context o increasingly requent collection

renewal, apparel sector proessionals seek to

optimize their product development processes, in

terms o both time and costs, particularly by making

grading easier and aster. Lectras oer thereoreproposes multiple grading techniques (manual,

automatic, expert) to suit the dierent characteristics

o pieces developed and industrialized products.

visualization o garment models in three dimensions.

This is achieved through a combination o material

inormation (based on a library o 120 dierent abrics

and their physical characteristics), 2D patterns, and

virtual 3D mannequins (standard and congurable).

With its powerul abric visualization tools and realistic

graphics, Modaris 3D Fit ensures complete control o

the t o models (ease, balance, proportions, etc.) in all

sizes, a huge leap orward in CAD technology.

Taking into consideration the creative constraints

o designers as well as those related to the

development o pattern-making speciications,

Modaris 3D Fit enables an evaluation o virtual

prototypes, on site or remotely, between principals

and sub-contractors. It thus enables the dierent

contibutors to the process to validate the style o

garments and collections, even beore the productiono the rst physical prototype.

For Princesse tam.tam, Modaris ExpertPros dependencies concept has made a real dierence.

We no longer need to modiy pieces one by one, and then extract them, with the risk each time o

orgetting certain pieces or o making a mistake. Now, when we modiy a pattern, the same modication

is made automatically in all the pieces linked to the pattern. Its a guarantee that our modications

are carried out with precision. Working with dependencies has reduced the time we spend nalizing a

product by at least 30 %. Modaris has really revolutionized our way o working and Modaris ExpertPro

has added a whole new dimension to our eciency and our productivity."
