Frequently Asked Questions
Couture CAD offers a complete garment development service designed to take your designs from initial concept through to production-ready files. Our services include patternmaking, 3D pattern services, grading, DXF and MDL file preparation, markers and international label support.
Whether you provide a sketch, technical drawing, reference garment or design concept, our experienced patternmakers work closely with you to develop patterns that bring your vision to life.
Combining expert patternmaking with 3D technology gives you the best of both worlds: traditional craftsmanship supported by modern innovation. You can visualise your garment digitally, refine proportions and make informed design decisions before moving into physical sampling.
This creates a more efficient development process while maintaining the precision required for high-quality fashion production.
Grading is the process of creating a complete size range from your base pattern while maintaining the intended fit, proportion and design integrity of your original garment.
Professional grading ensures every size in your collection fits correctly and is ready for production. Couture CAD uses industry-standard systems to create accurate graded patterns that manufacturers can confidently work from.

Additional services such as grading, markers and file preparation are priced separately depending on your production requirements.
