Service
Digital garment development and pre-sample documentation for brands, design studios and production teams.
For labels, patternmakers and product-development teams
I assemble and simulate the garment in CLO3D, set up the agreed materials, trims and artwork and prepare the views or variations required for the project.
The service starts from an existing digital pattern. Production pattern drafting, grading, fit approval and editable CLO source transfer are not included unless separately quoted.
Project fees start at NZD 250. A file review confirms the deliverables, timeline and final quote before work begins.
Workflow
One review lead, one written scope and one organised final delivery keep the project manageable.
Send the garment type, pattern format, required output, references and deadline.
The file basis is checked. You receive a written scope, price, timing, assumptions and exclusions.
The garment is assembled and simulated. You receive a WIP review and return one consolidated set of comments.
After final QA and payment, the agreed exports and documentation are delivered in an organised folder.

FAQ
Not as a standard service. The initial offers start from an existing digital pattern. Minor CLO adjustments may be made when explicitly directed by the client's patternmaker or technical lead, but new production pattern drafting, grading and final pattern approval are excluded unless separately qualified and scoped.
DXF-AAMA or DXF-ASTM, CLO garment files and ZPRJ files are preferred. A PDF pattern may be assessable for some builds, but clean fashion DXF reduces uncertainty. References, measurements, artwork and construction information should be included where available.
No. The editable CLO source file is excluded by default. Source-file transfer can be quoted separately where the project assets and licence conditions allow it.
Initial projects include one consolidated review round against the approved brief. New design directions, new inputs or fragmented additional rounds are quoted separately.
No. It can support development, proportion, colour, artwork and communication decisions. Real fabric behaviour, construction and fit still require physical sampling and qualified review.
A standard single-style build is usually scheduled for 5 to 10 business days after all required inputs and the deposit are received. Complex files, batches and rush deadlines are quoted individually.
Project fees start at NZD 250. A file review confirms the deliverables, timeline and final quote before work begins.
Yes. All projects are delivered remotely.
