What is Pointcarré?

Pointcarre is a full-featured professional textile CAD software, and the only one on the market that runs natively on both Mac and PC from a single application. It addresses every area of textile creation: Jacquard and dobby weaving, digital, rotary and screen printing, jersey knitting, tufting, carpet design, and 3D mapping for placing fabrics realistically onto photographs. Because every module lives inside one program, a designer can pass from weaving to printing to knitting to mapping without ever changing software or losing data. Out of the box, the software offers more than 4,000 weave structures and bundles the Pantone, ColorCSI and Archroma Color Atlas libraries at no additional cost. It drives the major production machines directly, including looms from Stäubli, Bonas, Itema, Picanol and Dornier, tufting machines from CMC, Tuftco, Vandewiele and Modra, and knitting machines from Stoll and Karl Mayer. Pointcarre stands alone as the only textile CAD software with artificial intelligence built in. Design Maker produces patterns from an inspiration image while keeping the designer's own style, Repeat Maker converts any motif into a flawless seamless repeat, and AI Upscaling raises the resolution of small artworks. Two further exclusives, Jacquard Maker, which assembles a complete Jacquard construction in an instant, and Natural Blend Color, which previews how inks mix on rotary machines, exist in no competing product. Backed by 40 years of experience, Pointcarre is trusted by mills, design studios and freelancers across more than 120 countries, and it is taught in many of the world's leading textile schools and universities, among them every NIFT campus in India and NC State in the United States. Users also rely on its acclaimed support, reachable by phone, chat, email and remote control.

What is Design Dobby?

Design Dobby boasts a user-friendly and highly efficient interface that allows users to define, create, visualize, and implement designs in real-time effortlessly. The application can easily insert weave patterns in specified areas, integrate preferred warp and weft structures into textile designs, and modify colors based on the particular loom being utilized. It offers precise control over dimensions and effects for variable density dobby and extra warp features, facilitating straightforward simulation of weft cramming, empty dents, and various furnishing fabrics. Users can create drafts and peg plans either numerically or by sketching directly on point paper, while the platform provides intuitive tools for cutting, copying, pasting, and mirroring designs. Furthermore, it houses an extensive library of weaves, making it possible to develop intricate weave structures by combining different weaves. The sophisticated auto weave generation feature enhances the design process by enabling the creation of multiple design effects within a single draft order while adjusting the lifting plan, thereby allowing for greater versatility and creativity in textile design. This functionality empowers designers to experiment with an extensive array of options in their textile works, ensuring an enjoyable and productive creative experience.
