What it is

PolyPattern Design Pro is CAD software for apparel pattern design and pattern room processes, with tools for drafting and grading patterns. It supports grading after a dart is shifted, preserving the grading as the pattern is adjusted. Maker tutorials demonstrate grading a base pattern from extra small through extra large using directional and parallel steps, as well as manipulating darts, creating box pleats and facings, and setting seam allowances for hems and seam corners. The product is intended for technical product development, from pattern making and technical specifications to pre-costing and production readiness. Polytropon describes its interface as simple and minimal, focused on pattern work. Its digital workflow does not have to start with a digitizer; the maker says fewer than 5% of its customers own digitizing equipment. PolyPattern can communicate with machines and other software, and its connectivity history notes support for CAM hardware and reading native data from other systems. It was directly integrated with PolyOrganize PLM and the Browzwear Open Platform in 2019. Pricing is available on request; Polytropon offers a 30-minute demo.
