With Modaris® V8R2, Lectra redefines the
realism of 3D virtual prototyping
This new version of Modaris speeds up the time
to market for collections
Paris, June 25,
2019 – Lectra launches
Modaris® V8R2, the latest version of its patternmaking,
grading and prototyping 2D/3D solution. This new version of
Modaris, the most widely used modeling solution by leading brands
in fashion and apparel, offers greater speed, efficiency and
precision in product development. With its powerful 3D
simulation and collaboration tools, patternmakers are developing
patterns faster and speeding up their decision-making procedures.
By reducing or eliminating physical prototyping, product
development is less expensive and the time to market is as close as
possible to trend detection.
To preserve and strengthen its position as a
market leader of product development software, Lectra, with this
upgrade of Modaris, is giving particular focus to 3D virtual
prototyping. Patternmakers can now share with their partners,
360-degree videos, accessible on any device. Designers in response
are able to visualize, comment, and approve the style and fit using
the new 3D Style module.
New advances have made it possible to reduce the
number of physical prototypes by up to 50%. Modaris V8R2 improves
the quality of the solution’s 3D simulations and expands its
library with new assets (fabrics, 3D top-stitching effects,
realistic scenes, lighting
studios, Pantone® and Natural Color System®©,…). The
solution is now compatible with Vizoo, a high-quality scanner that
brings forth a heightened realism to the appearance of fabric
swatches, and with other 3D solutions such as Maya, 3DS Max, Iray
to make the digital renderings of the prototypes more true-to-life
and accurate.
One of the innovative developments of Modaris
V8R2 is a special dart feature to help patternmakers add dimension
to their garments with ease. Thanks to this new feature, modifying
a dart requires half the usual time, resulting in a 50-90% increase
in overall patternmaking speed.
Another highlight of this solution, and
important nod to the globalized workforce of the fashion industry,
is its ability to manage different units of measurement. With
Modaris V8R2, Lectra has made it possible for patternmakers and
external suppliers the guarantee of size compliance, regardless of
the measurement systems used in the countries where production
occurs.
Modaris V8R2 is already gaining traction among
its pilot customers. Italian womenswear company GGZ was the first
to endorse Modaris V8R2. “GGZ is a fast-fashion company and time
and quality are of the essence for us. Modaris’s new dart feature
helps us save up to 50% of pattern modification time. Additionally,
3D prototyping helps us ensure that pattern volumes and proportions
correspond to our designers’ expectations early on, dramatically
reducing our lead times,” attests Majla
Gottardo, Patternmaker, GGZ.
“We are entering the information age, and we are catering to
patternmakers who are dealing with consumers with different tastes,
of all body shapes and sizes. Our patternmakers have hundreds of
collections to deliver and no time to spare for errors. What we are
aiming to do is making their everyday work environment easier for
them, by providing the tools to streamline the development process
and reduce the number of reworks to achieve the right fit the
first-time,” states Céline Choussy, Chief Marketing &
Communications Officer, Lectra. “All this is possible with Modaris
V8R2.”
