Lectra, a leading IT solutions company for fashion from France, has launched Modaris V8R2, the latest version of its patternmaking, grading, and prototyping 2D/3D solution. This new version of Modaris, the most widely used modelling 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.Lectra, a leading IT solutions company for fashion from France, has launched Modaris V8R2, the latest version of its patternmaking, grading, and prototyping 2D/3D solution.

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 visualise, comment, and approve the style and fit using the new 3D style module, the company said in a press release.
New advances have made it possible to reduce the number of physical prototypes by up to 50 per cent. 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 per cent increase in overall patternmaking speed.
Another highlight of this solution, and important nod to the globalised 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.
“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. All this is possible with Modaris V8R2,” Céline Choussy, chief marketing and communications officer from Lectra said. (GK)
