October 19, 2016, Paris - Lectra, focused on providing integrated technology solutions for the industry leader in the use of soft fabric textiles, leather, industrial fabrics and composite materials and other manufacturing industries, recently launched a new Modaris®V8 solve Program. It can effectively enhance the collaborative work in the fashion product development process and stimulate more creativity.

As the world's most widely used 2D/3D clothing version and grading software, Modaris has been favored by many of the most well-known brands in the fashion industry. With the fashion new product development processes become more complex, garment enterprises are increasingly faced with the need to accelerate high-quality new products to market pressure. Lectra launches the latest version of the Modaris system to help the fashion industry meet these challenges with new solutions.

By improving product approval and data docking processes, Modaris V8 accelerates product creation and proofing speed while facilitating team collaboration. Since today's product development teams rarely work in the same location, these improvements are critical to improving product development efficiency.

“Modaris V8 helped us save half of our lace positioning time and significantly improved our communication with foundries and our own factories,” said Céline Nonat, senior plate maker at Création Chantal Thomass of Chantelle Group. . The Seychelles Group is the world's leading underwear company. It has been working with Lectra for more than 25 years and has adopted Lectra's solutions in the product development, design and production processes of its plants around the world.

In addition to traditional grading, industrial pattern making and processing, more and more garment foundries are beginning to provide prototyping and creative product development services to brands and retailers. Many brands and retailers are also outsourcing the design based on product specifications to third parties. They only need to start the plate making process, provide feedback to suppliers, and approve key processes.

The latest version of the Modaris V8 system offers customers many obvious advantages, such as making it easier to create and optimize new products, speeding up the approval process, speeding up the patterning process and making the assembly process smoother, as well as trademarks and graphics. Perform 2D and 3D analog positioning and grading.

Modaris V8's online fabric library contains more than 300 fabrics and Alvanon® standard or custom 3D mannequins, which significantly speeds up the proofing of garments. Users can also personalize their production environment to increase productivity and increase comfort. In addition, smart links and annotations have been added to the new system, and pieces that are ready for production are also easily and reliably tuned.

The most important advantage of Modaris V8 is to ensure that product quality data is communicated seamlessly throughout the supply chain. In today's fashion industry, close collaboration between teams is a necessary guarantee to avoid order delays and bring high quality products to market as quickly as possible.

Céline Choussy Bedouet, Chief Marketing Communications Officer, Lectra, said: “Modaris has been the preferred solution for the fashion industry for decades. The latest V8 release brings a first-class collaborative process that ensures data consistency and end product quality, thus accelerating Product launch speed.
