“We find 3D very useful for plus-size ladies wear. It’s hard to get a good fit in larger sizes. Using Lectra 3D, we can test many different elements which we don’t have time to do with physical samples. It’s helpful to be able to visualizeprints as well, because the scale of a print doesn’t always look right in larger sizes,” says Lotta Silow.

“The round table was a great opportunity to hear real users talk about their experience with 3D,” said Anita Heiberg, founder at 13dresses. “While I am very interested in the way 3D technology supports sustainable fashion, it was nice to see it being used in different ways to achieve different goals linked to time and cost reduction. The shared experiences demonstrated what a universally powerful tool 3D is.”

Customers were also given a demonstration of Lectra’s lean cutting room, developed to support operational excellence at the production stage. A visit of the technology campus rounded out the event and gave participants an insight into the workings of Lectra.
