ADVANCED FABRIC TESTING, MEASUREMENT AND ANALYSIS

Fabric testing: how it works

Motorized Tension Meter (Mark-10 ESM303 / ES30)

Measure extent of stretch in warp, weft and bias directions

Stiffness Tester

Measure fabric’s resistance to bending in warp and weft directions

Digital Scale

Measure fabric weight per area (in grams per square meter)

Digital Thickness Gauge

Measure fabric’s width in micrometers

Optitex Fabric Meter – fabric management software

Create and manage the fabric library and retrieve test results from the automatic fabric stretch tester

Measure fabric in 15 minutes

1) Prepare testing specimen
2) Create a new entry for the fabric in the Fabric Meter Application
3) Use the Fabric Wizard to measure fabrics
4) Each fabric measurement is added to the fabric database, which can then be shared with all EFI Optitex PDS users

Garment Fit Analysis

Analyze fit based on fabric properties

Material Converter

Scan fabrics with U3M-compatible scanners and make them available for 3D rendering

• During the installation process, a restart may be required, depending on the Windows version and Microsoft redistributable packages installed on your computer.
• We updated to the latest Nvidia & Photorealistic libraries. This introduces support for the new Ada Lovelace and Hopper GPU architecture, and further improvements in rendering speed and quality. You will need to update your Nvidia drivers to version 526.67 or later.
  With the recent Nvidia card rendering speed improvements, we also set the default 3D window rendering mode to be Photorealistic instead of Interactive. This will assure that what you see in the 3D window is what you get when rendering final images. Photorealistic mode performs complex recursive Raytracing creating completely realistic 3D scene representation. Interactive mode sacrifices quality for speed by performing some shortcuts. You can still switch to the interactive mode by pressing “I” in the 3D window. Recent generations of Nvidia graphics cards also allowed us to increase maximum image size for Photorealistic (Enhanced) rendering to 8k.
• Added ability to analyze fit for compression garments that are made of material frequently stretched above the material deformation threshold. Previously this stretch area was above the color scale all marked in red. Applicable to many professional sport styles, such as cycling, swimming suits, athletics.

The Piece Name Translation utility allows you to quickly and automatically translate piece names between different languages.

Better support for Upholstery workflow (files with hundreds of style sets and hundreds of pieces): Sort style sets alphabetically in style set dialog

Faster and easier style sets/pieces sorting

Support the  import of DXF files with no limit of the number of internals

Allowing the  import of DXF files containing pieces of perforated materials used in the Automotive industry.

Important: Setup Min. Circle Radius to be greater than Holes Radius

Better import of symmetrical pieces and Quality Zones of Lectra .mdl files (via Converter)

Full support of Boundary Validation Curves in ASTM export

Improved curves accuracy in the exported ASTM file.

Material Export Code available for configuration in Leather AAMA export

This provides better compatibility with Lectra Leather Order and LeatherNest Versalis
