Clab was developed to improve technical accuracy in pattern making.
The initial objective was clear: reduce structural errors, avoid rebuilding garments after fitting, and ensure that every base starts balanced, aligned, and production-ready.
The most evident result has been operational efficiency.
Development times have decreased significantly. Pattern bases that previously required hours of manual drafting can now be generated in minutes, with the required specifications defined by the pattern maker. Measurements are respected without approximation. Proportions remain controlled. Technical consistency is maintained.
However, one distinction remains essential:
A base is not the garment.
The garment must be developed through professional judgment, technical sensitivity, and experience. That is where time and attention should remain concentrated.
Fashion product development requires precision and informed decision-making. Attention should not be absorbed by repetitive technical setup when that phase is governed by clear and reproducible construction rules.
Time should be invested where expertise creates value: in refinement, proportion adjustments, interpretation of fit, and design-driven decisions.
The measurable efficiency gains produced by Clab are not a shortcut. They are a structural improvement in how technical foundations are established.
In practical terms, greater precision leads to fewer corrections. Fewer corrections lead to shorter development cycles. Shorter cycles strengthen overall process control.
That is the operational value Clab delivers to professional pattern making teams.
