What does REACH CAD do?
Carrying out Apparel Pattern Engineering, Grading and Marker Planning manually is a notoriously inefficient and cumbersome process. REACH CAD effects significant time and labor savings by automating this process.
REACH CAD streamlines and improves efficiency of the fashion product development team by safeguarding against people turnover, eliminating manual errors, building a knowledge base that can be used to create and re-create garment patterns and garment markers and by enabling collaborative team working. Manual patterns of garments get worn-out and torn and cannot be re-used to create even slightly different fashion styles.
REACH CAD uses apparel specific intuitive and user-friendly tools to engineer garment patterns, grade the base garment pattern to various other sizes and to tightly pack these garment patterns to form the most efficient garment markers. Figuring out optimal layout of clothing patterns to form tight clothing markers needs the application of spatial visualization skills: this is best done on a computer monitor and not by going back and forth on a table.

Researchers
If you are a researcher interested in studying the impact of technology on local economy or generating employment for women or how to leverage deep learning models for fashion merchandising or similar other interesting areas, we would like to talk to you.
Government
Vast majority of apparel manufacturing firms are Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises( MSME s). REACH CAD will save fabric and time for them enhancing their competitiveness. Globally, apparel/fashion is a USD 2.4 trillion market. According to Mckinsey Consulting :” If it were ranked alongside individual countries’ GDP,the global fashion industry would represent the world’s seventh largest economy.”
General CAD products do not meet fashion/apparel industry user requirements well. Fashion/ apparel CAD needs many industry specific functions .For eg., grading ( creating different sizes like S,M,L,XL,XXL etc from a base size) can be done in REACH CAD in minutes ( manually, this could take hours) Adoption of intelligent digital tools like REACH CAD among apparel MSMEs have been very low for reasons of price, awareness, availability of local talent, local support etc. Sewing machine is an engineering marvel. Also, a social engineering tool. Sewing machines brought millions of women the ability to participate in economic activity, even when they could not migrate to towns or family circumstances did not allow them to work outside for 8 hours, and consequent empowerment. Intelligent Digital tools like REACH CAD do the same today.
