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 Onshape?

Onshape is a cloud-native CAD and PDM system that helps engineers, designers, manufacturers, students, and startups create products from anywhere. The platform runs on web browsers and mobile devices, allowing users to access professional CAD tools without installations, upgrades, or specialized hardware. It combines mechanical design, built-in product data management, real-time collaboration, branching, merging, version control, and secure cloud storage in one connected environment. Onshape is designed to solve many problems associated with desktop CAD, including crashes, corrupted files, outdated software, local file failures, and version conflicts. Its integrated PDM system gives teams a more efficient way to manage design data without relying on separate file-based workflows. Distributed teams can collaborate instantly and securely across locations without emailing files, creating duplicate copies, or waiting for manual check-ins. The platform captures every design change in a complete audit trail, giving users transparency, accountability, and the ability to roll back work when needed. Onshape updates automatically every few weeks, so teams always work on the latest version without downtime or IT disruption. The Onshape Altium Connector helps ECAD and MCAD teams exchange data through a bi-directional cloud link, improving collaboration between electronics and mechanical design workflows. Onshape offers options for professionals, enterprises, students, educators, hobbyists, and startups, making it adaptable to different design environments and budgets. With cloud reliability, built-in collaboration, mobile access, and modern data management, Onshape helps product teams move faster and reduce friction throughout the design process.
