Company Profile
Tukatech sells software and machinery to the trade, not clothing to shoppers, so this page carries no marketplace shop box. Its current range follows the spine of the record below - TUKAcad for pattern making, grading and marker making, TUKA3D for 3D sample making and fit, TUKAcloud for collaboration, and its spreaders and cutters - under the founder who has fronted the company, and its 'disruptive technologist' reputation, since 1995. The full period product list, Design Cafes, RFID tracking and all, plus this profile's photograph, is kept on the history page.
The list runs the whole development chain. TUKAcad: professional pattern engineering software for pattern making, grading and marker making, with built-in audio/video help for every tool and a rental option. The e-fit Simulator: 3D virtual samples and fit testing that 'all but eliminates' physical sample iterations. TUKAstudio for fabric design and storyboards; TUKAplan, a web-based PLM; TUKAforms, life-like fit-model clones made from 3D scan data - 'squeezable just like the real human body'; TUKAweb, an online services division for pattern work by upload; and SMARTmark, automatic marker making built on 'one of the most sophisticated algorithms in the industry.'
Tukatech History
The earlier record for this company - its history, past brand line-ups, figures and photographs from the periods described - is kept on a separate page for historical reference.
