Hard Skills
IntermediateCAD Pattern DigitizingThe process of using specialized hardware and software to convert physical paper or cardboard pattern templates into digital vector files for textile production.
AdvancedPattern GradingThe systematic scaling of a base pattern into a range of different sizes using specific increments and grading rules.
IntermediateMarker Making OptimizationThe arrangement of digitized pattern pieces on a cutting layout to maximize material utilization and minimize fabric or leather waste.
IntermediateTechnical Specification InterpretationReading and translating technical design sheets and measurement charts into accurate digital patterns.
AdvancedMaterial Characteristic AnalysisUnderstanding the unique properties of textiles, leather, and fur, such as grain direction, nap, and shrinkage, to adjust patterns accordingly.
IntermediateQuality Control of Digital OutputVerifying that digitized patterns are free from geometric errors, gaps, or overlapping lines before they are sent to cutting machines.
