Comparison

PatternAI vs CLO3D

CLO3D is a 3D garment-design and cloth-simulation tool for virtual prototyping — seeing a design in 3D and iterating fit and drape before sampling. PatternAI does a different, complementary job: it generates the 2D design and writes the production/machine file the garment is manufactured from. CLO3D shows the garment; PatternAI makes the file that produces it. PatternAI does not do 3D cloth simulation.
