Universities have incorporated CAD pattern‑making systems into clothing technology curricula to meet the fashion industry’s demand for highly skilled designers and engineers. This study investigates whether open‑source CAD software can effectively support garment‑development learning. The authors compared two licensed CAD systems (Polypattern and Create) with two open‑source options (Seamly2D and Wild Ginger’s Caveo V6) by evaluating their performance on ten pattern designs. The evaluation results for the four CAD systems are presented and critically discussed, highlighting their relative strengths and limitations.
Most universities have included computer-aided design (CAD) pattern making systems education and training in their clothing technology courses in recent years, so as to respond to the actual needs of the fashion world for high-skilled fashion designers and clothing engineers. With the rapid rise in the use of open source software (OSS) in all types of applications, it is important to know if the existing OSS CAD software for garment prototyping development can successfully support the learning process. The present study compares two commercial licensed CAD systems for pattern design (Polypattern and Create) to an open source software, Seamly2D, and to Wild Ginger’s Caveo V6 programme, which runs within an OSS. In total, two licensed and two OSS systems have been evaluated in their weights in accomplishing the garment development of ten different pattern designs. The results obtained for the evaluation of a set of OS and licensed CAD systems are presented and critically discussed.
