In 2017, J. Adams & Associates Ltd. upgraded their design software from 2D to 3D, beginning to use the CLO 3D system for product design and development. The 3D virtual samples visually represent near-actual finished products, allowing customers to quickly and easily view various fabric patterns and colors. Customers can also examine product details and fit from a 360-degree perspective, simulating the movability for different body parts in various poses. This simplifies the pattern approval process, with the goal of replacing physical samples with virtual ones to save time and reduce the number of samples needed, ultimately increasing the speed and stability of development.
