CAD Software for Textiles
Computer-aided design (CAD) is used by the textile industry to improve design capabilities and to document the design process. CAD software for textiles is designed to streamline the design side of the business and often offers cost-saving benefits. Different types of CAD software can be used to design curves and figures in either 2D, 3D or both.
