Gerber AccuMark V10 3D Visualization Technology

Gerber Technology, a world leader in integrated solutions for the apparel and industrial markets, has unveiled 3D visualisation technology as an optional module for AccuMark 10, its industry leading integrated pattern design, grading, planning, and marker making software.

Gerber’s 3D solution is works with sophisticated 3D graphics and animation technology called Blender. The technology has been used widely in the animation, movie, video game and simulation industries. Its broad spectrum of modelling, texturing, lighting and simulation capabilities make it one of the most popular Open Source 3D graphics applications in the world, Gerber said in a press release.

Mary McFadden, director of CAD product management with Gerber Technology said, “Virtual sampling is the answer to reducing time and cost in development and sample making. Combined with our AccuMark 10 software, 3D technology makes it possible to reduce and even eliminate process steps and interactions among design, sample making and merchandising teams to help designers optimise their time and speed up important feedback cycles. Our rapid development cycle will elevate AccuMark beyond current available systems.”

“3D technology is a visualisation tool that assists all along the design and development process. It will help the pattern maker to know whether the pattern works in the design, the designer to refine the details of the creation, and to visualise the fit and comfort of the garment on the model, all without actually making the garment. This technology can assist all the way through to merchandising, where it can be used in e-commerce,” McFadden added.

Mike Elia, Gerber Technology’s CEO said, “The applications of 3D technology are broad and will have an impact on the digital worlds of garment development and merchandising, and ultimately on the physical worlds of production and fit. Gerber’s breadth of technology positions us to lead the way in creating solutions for our customers that enhance the design process, automate manufacturing workflows and provide full product line management.”

Gerber was one of the first to introduce pattern making software for the apparel industry. Today, AccuMark CAD systems are used by more than 15,000 customers, including many of the world’s leading fashion brands. Gerber has launched technologies that have become the benchmarks for CAD pattern making, grading, planning and marker making software, as well as for automated spreading and cutting machines.

AccuMark 3D Visualization Technology

See your designs in a whole new way.

This enhanced design module lets you visualize your samples in 3D with the click of a button.

Generate virtual samples
Traditional sample creation involves time-consuming manual fittings and re-fittings. AccuMark 3D is an integrated solution that enables sample departments to create more styles in less time.

Accelerate development time
AccuMark 3D reduces your time to market and reduces costly sample remakes by consistently providing true-to-life digital renderings of your design from the hanger to the runway.

Increase production efficiency
AccuMark 3D brings a whole new level of efficiency to your design department by combining the latest in 3D rendering technology with powerful, proven pattern production software.

Collaborate across continents
By creating realistic 3D designs that can be shared virtually across multiple teams, platforms, and geographies, AccuMark 3D allows a whole new level of collaboration.
