Furthermore, the ecosystem is designed to be agnostic regarding legacy data. Modaris V8R1 includes a "Pattern Converter" tool (often web-based) that allows users to convert legacy formats—such as Gerber AccuMark CAD, DXF AAMA, and DXF ASTM—into the native MDL V8 format. This prevents data silos and ensures that old archives can be utilized in modern 3D workflows without being redrawn from scratch.
While Modaris creates the blueprint, Diamino determines the cost. Marker making—the process of arranging pattern pieces efficiently on a roll of fabric—directly impacts the bottom line. Released in July 2015, DiaminoFashion V6R2 was designed to tackle the volatility of "fast fashion," where manufacturers face constant pressure from small-quantity orders in a variety of sizes and colors.
The introduction of 3D prototyping within Modaris is perhaps its most transformative feature. Traditional product development often requires multiple physical samples, leading to significant material waste and extended lead times. With Modaris 3D, designers can drape virtual patterns over customizable avatars to check fit, volume, and fabric behavior in real-time. This virtual fitting room allows for immediate adjustments to the 2D pattern based on 3D observations, effectively bridging the gap between flat design and three-dimensional reality. The high-fidelity simulation of fabric mechanical properties—such as stretch, weight, and drape—enables teams to make confident decisions before a single piece of fabric is cut.
