Jacquard CAD Software Platforms and Capabilities
topic
Specialised Jacquard CAD systems including EAT DesignScope, Scotweave, and NedGraphics provide integrated environments for design creation, weave structure assignment, colour and thread simulation, lifting programme generation, and loom data export, with features including photorealistic fabric simulation that renders the designed weave structure at specified thread count and yarn colour before production sampling, enabling design approval from computer simulation rather than requiring woven samples for initial design evaluation.
Role
Provides the technical infrastructure for Jacquard design development that enables professional-quality figured fabric design without the weeks of manual point paper preparation that pre-digital design required, with CAD simulation quality being the primary driver of sample reduction in modern Jacquard development processes where accurate on-screen fabric rendering allows design iteration and client approval at a fraction of the time and cost of the physical sample-making that simulation replaces.
