OptiTex, the
industry leader
in 2D/3D CAD/CAM
design
technology for
cut-fabric
related
industries, has
made its
best-of-breed
software even
better by
enhancing one of
its core
products, 3D
Runway Designer
10, with remote
collaboration
tools.
We've
integrated
several new
features into
Runway 10 to
smooth the
collaboration
between
designers and
production
professionals,
states Ran
Machtinger,
President and
CEO of OptiTex,
Ltd.
Chief
among the
improvements is
an open chat
room, which
allows
production and
image files in
2D and 3D to be
sent between
partners
participating in
the design
process. They
can then easily
modify these
images using our
new chalk tool,
allowing design
and production
staff to draft
on-screen
together, in
real time from
remote
locations.
These new and upgraded features represent another step forward in the OptiTex revolution, allowing virtually all of the design process to be performed digitally.
3D Runway
Designer 10 has
new customizable
features and
options,
allowing
designers the
freedom to
change textures,
materials,
colors and
stitches or add
logos on screen
without using a
single piece of
fabric. The
garment can then
be seen
in
action
on
OptiTex's 3D
models, all of
which are fully
adjustable to
reflect any body
type.
OptiTex's on-screen environment is customizable to enhance the designer's creative process. The accuracy of the images eliminates material, energy and time waste, providing rapid ROI as well as an environmentally friendly application.
The new, collaborative features in 3D Runway Designer 10 dovetail perfectly with another area in which OptiTex has experienced a surge in growth: Utilization as an essential learning tool in educational settings, ranging from renowned universities to vocational training centers.
Over the last
two years We've
seen phenomenal
acceptance of
our software
worldwide by
major
educational
institutions.
They need to
provide their
students with a
strong
background in
the latest
design tools,
allowing them to
be immediately
employable upon
graduation. Now,
instructors can
work remotely
with students in
an e-learning
environment to
ensure their
projects are
viable as they
prepare to enter
the workforce,
concludes
Machtinger.
