Fashionary
The global standard for professional fashion sketching, technical drawing, and rapid prototyping digital workflows.
Accelerate fashion production with AI-driven 2D/3D CAD and digital prototyping.
EFI Optitex is an industry-leading CAD/CAM suite tailored for the apparel, automotive, and technical textile industries. As of 2026, the platform has solidified its market position by integrating advanced AI for automated pattern grading and fabric yield optimization. The software provides a robust ecosystem comprising Pattern Design Software (PDS), 3D simulation, and Marker making tools that bridge the gap between creative vision and physical production. Its technical architecture relies on a high-fidelity physics engine capable of simulating non-linear fabric stresses, allowing designers to visualize drape and fit with 98% accuracy compared to physical samples. The 2026 iteration emphasizes Digital Product Creation (DPC), facilitating a move toward zero-sample production workflows. By utilizing O/Cloud for collaborative stakeholder reviews and providing deep integrations with Adobe Illustrator and major PLM systems like Centric and PTC, EFI Optitex serves as a critical infrastructure layer for global brands aiming to reduce time-to-market while meeting rigorous ESG sustainability targets through minimized textile waste.
Uses machine learning algorithms to calculate millions of pattern combinations in seconds to maximize fabric yield.
Verified feedback from the global deployment network.
