LECTRA: Lectra holds conference on 3D technologies in fashion
18 Junho 2014 - 1:00PM
Lectra, the world leader in integrated technology solutions
dedicated to industries using soft materials-fabrics, leather,
technical textiles and composite materials-recently hosted, in
Bordeaux-Cestas, France, a seminar focusing on the use of 3D
technologies in the fashion product development process. The event,
which brought together over 40 delegates from around the world,
centered on how fashion companies can benefit from integrated 3D
technology to optimize and streamline the end-to-end collection
development process to improve competitiveness. Daniel Harari,
Lectra CEO and Anastasia Charbin, Fashion Marketing Director,
kicked off the two-day event with insights into the current state
of the market and projected evolutions. Emphasis was placed on the
growing need for companies to assess the relevance of their
business models in a reset economy and to meet growing demand for
innovation from consumers across the world. Special focus was
placed on the importance of linking design and product development
to stand out in a market that is increasingly plagued by sameness.
An afternoon round table discussion focused on the new era in
product development being ushered in by 3D technology. Participants
included Lotta Silow, Pattern Maker and Pattern Coordinator,
KappAhl; Gilberto Santos, General Director, Cordeiro Campos;
Laurinda Campos, Quality Manager, Cordeiro Campos; Felicite Middle,
Category Technical Manager at Tesco's F&F; Anita Heiberg,
Founder, 13dresses.com and Souraya Bouwmans-Sarraf, Director of
AMFI-Amsterdam Fashion Institute. The round table allowed these
very different entities to share their experiences and best
practices. Leonie Barrie, Managing Editor of Just Style, moderated.
"The presentations given during the event confirmed our experience
with Lectra 3D technology," said Gilberto Santos, General Director
at Cordeiro Campos, a Portuguese garment manufacturer that has been
a Lectra partner since 1996 and a 3D user since 2011. "In addition
to reducing prototypes by 20%, we are now able to deliver to our
clients faster and with less waste." "Lectra technology allows us
to see a 3D image of the product before we sample. If you bear in
mind that the first sample demands the most changes, then being
able to cut that out has enormously beneficial implications for
product development over time," said Felicite Middle. "I believe it
will allow us to develop better, certainly more consistent,
products especially in terms of sizing and grading." "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 visualize prints 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.
