The advantages of using 3D prototyping software in the clothing development

Abstract

The article analyses the impact of using 3D prototyping software in the garment design process, highlighting the quantifiable benefits in terms of time, costs, and material resources. The study synthesizes information from industry reports, demonstrating that digital prototyping significantly reduces the number of physical samples, accelerates the development cycle, and decreases textile material waste. The direct economic effects, the optimization of communication between design and production, and the contribution to sustainability are examined. The results support the systematic integration of 3D technologies in education and industry as a strategy for efficiency and competitiveness.
