Digitizing Patterns:
 

• Hard copy patterns, old patterns hanging on a rack, and soft paper patterns manually made can now be digitized into our state-of-the-art digitizing system and put into our system for further pattern editing, modifications, and setting your unique set of grading rules before making a marker.

• Using our pattern digitizing services, you can have your paper patterns captured digitally so that they can be sent to your factories electronically by email for production or sampling or you can even use it to archive all your existing styles, basic blocks, or slopers so that it can be retrieved instantly.

• The digitizing process replicates the patterns exactly as it is. The same file can be opened and checked for measurements and corrections. Once your digitized pattern has been entered into our system we can convert it to a DXF format that can be imported by other CAD / CAM / AAMA / ASTM conversion programs and export your model to native CAD systems can be sent by email all over the world.

• Apparel pattern piece digitizing is a time-consuming process and can be expensive depending on the size of your pattern piece and the complexity of your design. You must accurately provide us with all the necessary pattern piece information for your particular style or design and your pattern.

If you send us paper patterns for digitizing:

• You need to have a hard copy of the tracking of your design on paper. The paper must be flat for accurate piece digitizing and when sending out your patterns to a digitizer make sure all your pattern tracing is visible and marked with hard lines.
   

• Information, such as grain lines and descriptions, must be recorded on every piece. You must take the time to provide all this information and write it on each pattern piece, as this information will be useful for you for tracking purposes in the future.
   

• A pattern card must be provided along with a fabric description. Make sure you provide a list of all the pieces for every style you make to your digitizing house as these will serve also as a record for you and your digitizer of how many pieces were digitized and saved into their computer digitizing system.
   

• You must make sure that your pattern or style to be digitized in a CAD digitizing system is the correct model, as they will be digitized exactly as submitted. You must know what pieces make your design and do not mix pattern pieces that do not belong to that particular style, as you will be charged for any extra piece digitized.
   

• Once your pattern has been entered into a computer system by a digitized or digitizing service your pattern will not be modified, corrected, or changed by the digitizer as this will normally be a separate service charge to you and done by a professional pattern designer.
