In an industry where digital innovation drives success, Optitex is leading the way—helping companies future-proof their operations and stay ahead in a rapidly evolving market.
New Tools That Streamline Workflows
Script Builder: Automate Repetitive Tasks, No Coding Required
Manual scripting is now a thing of the past. The new Script Builder lets users create batch command scripts through an intuitive interface, without any coding experience. These scripts can be saved as templates and executed seamlessly in PDS, Marker, or both; eliminating repetitive manual work. This streamlined approach minimizes errors, reduces manual intervention, and significantly improves production efficiency.
Production Diagram: A Smarter Way to Plan and Execute
The Production Diagram is set to redefine manufacturing workflows by providing a clear, step-by-step visual guide for cutting, sewing, and assembly. With built-in annotation tools, automatic updates in pattern pieces, and seamless integration with PDS, this tool eliminates the need for external applications.
With synchronization between PDS and Production Diagram, every update to a pattern piece is instantly reflected in the diagram—reducing miscommunication and errors. The Production Diagram tool revolutionizes streamlined operations by managing complex automotive upholstery layouts and ensuring accurate garment assembly.
“Currently, manufacturers must rely on third-party software to create production instructions. However, manufacturers must recreate these documents from scratch each time a pattern piece changes, leading to an inefficient and time-consuming process. The Production Diagram Tool eliminates this challenge by generating step-by-step visual instructions that update in real time with pattern changes. This approach ensures accuracy, reduces assembly errors, and streamlines production workflows for greater efficiency.”
Product Enhancements That Drive Efficiency
Smarter Grading & Pattern Alignment with PDS 2D
The improved Piece Creation tool now automatically applies grading points to new pattern pieces, ensuring precise alignment for better garment construction. This enhancement eliminates manual adjustments, reduces errors, and speeds up production.
Additionally, the enhanced Piece Information Text tool introduces better text positioning, rotation, and formatting, creating a more intuitive and seamless user experience when managing piece properties across PDS and Marker.
Faster, More Flexible 3D Development with PDS 3D
O/25 introduces advanced GLTF/GLB Export, allowing users to export 3D pieces composed of multiple meshes as a single mesh and include customizable nested map images, 2D board images, and scalable 3D data. This improvement ensures seamless integration with third-party platforms.
Additionally, 3D Undo & Redo functionality now allows users to reverse or reapply adjustments within the 3D window, making design iterations faster and more intuitive.
“Across industries, from fashion to automotive, virtual sampling is essential for validating fit and material behavior. In the past, pattern makers faced slow iteration cycles when adjusting 3D patterns due to the lack of a seamless modification tool. O/25’s 3D Undo & Redo feature removes this barrier, allowing instant refinements with seamless reversibility. This functionality accelerates virtual sampling, enabling faster iterations and reducing delays in production.”
Optimized Material Utilization with Marker Enhancements
Updated Nest ++ PRO: Smarter Nesting, Less Waste
The latest Nest ++ PRO Algorithm is designed to maximize material usage while minimizing waste, ensuring more efficient production planning. By optimizing placement logic, this update reduces fabric waste and enhances sustainability, lowering costs across industries.
“Fabric waste is a major concern for manufacturers using manual nesting methods, where inefficient pattern placement increases production costs. As sustainability mandates grow stricter, businesses need smarter material utilization strategies to minimize waste while maintaining production efficiency. With O/25’s enhanced Nest ++ PRO algorithm, manufacturers can achieve greater efficiency by improving pattern placement for better material utilization. The result? Reduced waste, lower production costs, and a more sustainable manufacturing process.”
Real-Time Nesting Efficiency Tracking: Smart, Sustainable Decisions
Instead of waiting until the nesting process is complete, users can now monitor Nesting efficiency in real time, identifying the optimal moment to stop nesting. This functionality reduces time waste and allows manufacturers to save and retrieve marker files at multiple stages for future use.
DXF Export Enhancements: Precision Sorting and Identification
Now supporting Projection System output, DXF exports can highlight pieces in different colors based on bundles, making sorting more intuitive. Additionally, piece names are now embedded directly into the output, streamlining the cutting process and improving accuracy.
“Projection systems used during the bundling phase across all sewn industries help operators quickly distinguish between parts or sizes of the same design by projecting different colors onto pattern pieces. However, when a projector cannot display colors due to missing data, operators waste time sorting cut pieces. With O/25’s improved DXF Export, pieces are color-coded by bundle and labeled with names, enhancing organization, increasing efficiency, reducing errors, and ensuring each bundle contains the correct components.”
Flaw Batch Command
The Flaw Batch Command streamlines the cutting process by automatically removing pattern pieces that intersect with fabric flaws on the marker table, ensuring that only flawless material is used. By integrating with hardware-based flaw detection systems, this feature saves time, reduces material waste, and improves overall product quality.
O/Cloud: Enhanced Collaboration and Accessibility
Seamless Collaboration Across Companies
With O/Cloud’s New Invite feature, users can now add collaborators from external companies, as long as they have O/Cloud accounts, without affecting license counts. This update streamlines cross-company workflows, ensuring that all stakeholders have access to shared digital assets.
“When brands and their suppliers rely on emails or third-party file transfer services to share design files, version control issues and miscommunication can lead to costly mistakes. With O/25’s O/Cloud updates, organizations can seamlessly collaborate without adding extra users or fees. Brands can invite suppliers directly into their O/Cloud workspaces, ensuring that both parties work with the latest files in real time. This feature reduces versioning errors, streamlines collaboration, and accelerates the product development process.”
File Organization & Customization for Faster Workflows
New file management features include:
- “Recently Updated” Sorting: Instantly locate modified files.
- Customizable File Display Views: Switch between Thumbnail and Detailed View for improved organization.
Pin Comments in GLB Viewer
Pin Comments are now available in the GLB viewer, providing a precise way to give context-specific feedback on 3D assets. Users can pin comments directly to specific garment areas, ensuring clear and actionable communication throughout the review process.
Enhanced 3D Viewing & Visualization
The GLB Viewer now allows users to toggle floor visibility, adjust lighting environments, and control avatar visibility, ensuring accurate visualizations and a streamlined revision process.
Advanced User Management
The tiered user structure introduces Pro, Basic, and API User roles, ensuring that teams have the appropriate level of access for maximum security and efficiency.
