3D Prototyping

Clothier Design Source offers a service that can eliminate the first cut and sew steps with virtual prototyping. More than a drawing, virtual rendering uses your digital pattern files to simulate fabric drape and fit of a sewn garment. 

3D VIRTUAL PROTOTYPING OFFERS:

• 3D rendering uses the actual pattern and model measurements

• Provides true fit and style simulation

• Fast turn-around time with no need to wait for fabrics and trims to arrive

• Allows client to quickly make changes to the style

• Gives you the opportunity to try out different textures, colors and prints

• Great tool to use for marketing and selling on websites

• Use 3D rendering for crowd funding project to evaluate interest before investing in full development

• Preview your styles in multiple colorways and/or prints before actually being made

 Sampling

In our prototype service we work in 2-4 rounds of sampling to get the fit and design completely production-ready. Prototyping is a process - the first prototype will not be perfect. We work with you through each round of prototype to prepare the product for manufacturing. During this process, not only are you getting a prototype, we are also developing the methods in which the product will be manufactured efficiently with the best quality.

WITH OUR PROTOTYPE SERVICE WE:

• Cut and sew the first through final round of prototypes

• Develop production friendly methods specific to your product to prepare for manufacturing 

• Test and provide you options for how it could be made

• Give you the opportunity to test your concept and provide feedback on fit, function, fabric and construction

• Work with you to ensure you understand how your decisions will affect the cost to the end product
