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 Lotta?

By using validated blocks like carryover styles, Lotta empowers users to craft an unlimited array of new designs that incorporate diverse styles, graphics, fabrics, trims, and color palettes. It allows for a smooth transfer of all-over patterns, logos, and additional elements between your favorite Adobe applications and 3D modeling tools, ensuring a cohesive workflow. Designed with user-friendliness in mind, Lotta makes it easy for even those new to 3D design to jump right in. The platform comes equipped with a robust toolkit that encompasses draping, styling, and synchronized 3D/2D tools, facilitating everything from 3D drawing to the creation of 2D flat patterns. Users can control fabric color, repeat patterns, and logo placement with remarkable ease, as well as manipulate elements through scaling, rotation, and adjustments to seams, trims, buttons, and draw cords. Additionally, modeling prints and logos in varying sizes aids in making informed decisions about their positioning and cropping. Instant visualization of multiple colorways and a variety of fabric types within each colorway further streamlines the design process, enabling creativity to flourish. Furthermore, you can access a vast library of pre-existing fabric samples or choose to upload your own custom fabrics, allowing for even greater experimentation and personalization in your designs. This flexibility ensures that every designer can find their unique style and express it fully through the platform.
