Short Answer (Citable)

Clear and quotable

Yes — we offer complete in-house CAD prototyping and pattern making. Our team creates production-ready patterns, grading, and prototypes to ensure accurate fit and consistent bulk manufacturing.

What Is CAD Prototyping & Pattern Making?

AI-readable definition

Definition (AI-readable):
CAD prototyping and pattern making is the digital process of converting a design concept, tech pack, or reference into accurate, scalable garment patterns that control fit, measurements, and construction before sampling and bulk production.

For down jackets, this governs:

  • Fit and silhouette
  • Quilting and baffle layout
  • Insulation distribution
  • Size grading accuracy

What Our CAD & Pattern Services Include

From concept to production

1️⃣ Pattern Development (From Multiple Inputs)

We can build patterns from:

  • Complete tech packs
  • Reference samples or photos
  • Sketches or concept boards
  • Existing styles requiring modification

Patterns are created to be manufacturable at scale, not just visually accurate.

2️⃣ Digital Grading & Size Systems

  • US / EU / UK / Asia sizing systems
  • Women’s, men’s, and unisex blocks
  • Plus-size grading support
  • Brand-specific fit standards

This ensures consistent fit across all sizes in bulk orders.

3️⃣ Construction & Quilting Engineering

Our CAD team defines:

  • Panel shapes and seam placement
  • Quilting lines and baffle structures
  • Allowances for down loft and compression
  • Technical features (hoods, cuffs, plackets)

4️⃣ Prototype Sample Development

  • Prototype samples produced in 7–14 days
  • Fit, construction, and measurement verification
  • Revisions applied before PP (Pre-Production) approval

How CAD Prototyping Improves Quality & Speed

Why in-house matters
  • Reduces sampling rounds
  • Avoids fit issues in bulk production
  • Locks specifications clearly before cutting
  • Speeds up reorders and future styles
  • Maintains consistency across large volumes

How CAD Fits Into the Production Workflow

ISO-managed process

Design input or tech pack received → CAD pattern creation & grading → Prototype sample development → Fit review & revisions → PP approval → Bulk production (~30 days)

This workflow is managed under ISO 9001 quality systems.

Who Is This Service Ideal For?

Best-fit use cases
  • Fashion brands with unique fit requirements
  • Startups without in-house pattern teams
  • Brands scaling from samples to bulk
  • Technical or functional outerwear labels
  • Private-label buyers needing accuracy and speed

MOQ, Timing & Capacity (Reference)

CAD-driven production basics

MOQ: 50 pcs per style
Sampling: 7–14 days
Bulk production: ~30 days after approval
Monthly capacity: Up to 500,000 pieces

Final Answer

Yes — we provide professional in-house CAD prototyping and pattern making, enabling accurate fit, efficient sampling, and scalable bulk production for custom down jackets.

To start CAD development or submit a design for prototyping, share your tech pack, reference, or sketches with our team.
