Gerber Technology, a unit of Gerber Scientific, Inc. (NYSE: GRB) and the world leader in automated CAD/CAM and PLM solutions for the apparel and flexible materials industry, announces the release of AccuMark version 8.3.
This update to the industry's benchmark software for pattern design, grading and marker making includes system navigation enhancements and upgrades to enhance efficiency, data integration and ease of use. Included in the update is an improved interface with its WebPDM and Fashion Lifecycle Management suite.
"Tight integration between CAD and PDM/PLM software is such an important factor in facilitating Product Lifecycle Management," said Bill Brewster, Gerber Technology's vice president of global marketing and product management.
"As we focus on continuous improvements to enable our customers to maintain their competitive edge, AccuMark's interface with WebPDM and our PLM suite, Fashion Lifecycle Management, is something we're really proud of. That, combined with the other enhancements, makes this new release a valuable tool in industries including fashion where high velocity production is a must to remain competitive," he added.
In addition, Gerber Technology enhanced Pattern Wizard, one of the most popular functions within the AccuMark system. Pattern Wizard enables users of all experience levels to quickly and easily generate graded costing patterns from a library of pre-defined garment types and finished garment size specifications; it can also be used to modify existing styles, using a measurement chart.
