LECTRA: Lectra announces Kaledo(r) V4R1
June 24 2014 - 11:58AM
Lectra, the world leader in integrated technology solutions
dedicated to industries using soft materials-fabrics, leather,
technical textiles and composite materials-is pleased to announce
Kaledo
® V4R1, the latest release of its design
solution. "The shifting demands of the fashion and apparel industry
put rising pressure on companies to cut time and cost, forcing them
to renew collections more often to remain competitive. Kaledo V4R1
was developed with these specific needs in mind," says Daniel
Harari, Lectra CEO. This new release is the result of a close
collaboration with Lectra customers. "We have taken input from our
key textile customers. Product development teams and pre-production
rely on the efficiency of designers to produce innovative and
creative designs to ensure that interesting, fresh products reach
stores on time. Our R&D teams have developed this new version
to respond to industry needs," he adds. Kaledo V4R1 features a host
of new tools including draper, a texture mapping module that
simulates fabric on images and sketches, producing realistic
results for earlier decision making in the collection and sales
selection process. "Kaledo allows us to realistically represent
what a product will look like. As designers, we are able to develop
clear and concise range plans to pitch to our clients or in-house
design teams," says Jon Mabbott, Menswear Designer at CP Company,
United Kingdom. "We have been using Lectra's pattern-making
solutions for many years. The new Kaledo will help us to simplify
and speed up style customization and reduce the number of physical
samples needed in the process, thanks to immediate visualization,"
adds Claudia Schüpbach-Germann, Designer at Isa Sallmann,
Switzerland. This latest release also introduces major improvements
to color management, such as better lighting options for increased
color accuracy. Users can also now work with more complex knit and
woven structures for more sophisticated design options. Other
features include new repeat, color mask and transparency tools for
more design flexibility. "Design is an essential asset in Lectra's
offer. Lectra fashion solutions are continually updated to improve
collaboration between design and product development teams onto
buying, sourcing and merchandising. Kaledo helps to shorten time to
market by improving control and visibility at the deepest level,"
explains Anastasia Charbin, Fashion Marketing Director, Lectra.
