This is part of a detailed technical overview of the most significant new and updated features included in the X17 pattern designer release. This is dedicated to CAD specialists who are facing day-by-day industry challenges and are searching for methods to improve their workflow in a pragmatic and efficient way. The content reflects 15 years of experience in apparel & flexible goods design and manufacture and a 2 year effort to rebuild from scratch an entire software solution. We hope you enjoy the information and the videos and you will find answers to your existing technical problems.
Nesting parts on fabrics with stripes or plaids seemed a simple task to do ten years ago. Yin embraced a solution similar to the most advanced existing on the market, while trying to add some automatic methods of defining piece relations, which made the process easier. And it was all quite OK while cutting was made either manual or in a primitive automatic way.
However, getting inspired from our competitors was not a good choice. While YIN gradually become the leader in innovative technologies such as VisionCUT, for scanning the fabric, dealing with distortions and in-line high productivity single ply cutting, it became obvious that the Matching system must evolve to a totally new level.
The highest skills and expertise are incorporated in the new Matching Manager module, which is now capable to handle all the problems related to matching, fabric distortion compensation, multiple nesting grids, piece multi-point correlation, multi-fabric handle. All these features are actually part of a bigger orientation; Mass Customization System, by which new production challenges are already faced for the coming years.
The new features of Yin CAD Pattern Designer X17 will boost the functionalities of the VisionCUT system, widening the range of applications and products which can benefit from a 100% automatized manufacturing process. For example, cutting a perfectly symmetrical collar even if the fabric is elongated and distorted, will no longer require a manual re-cut, it will be done in a single step using VisionCUT and a single ply cutter.

As a US subsidiary of Yin Group, Yin USA, Inc. provides integrated automation solutions for advanced textile manufacturing industries by offering Computer Aided Design (CAD), 3D Body Measuring Systems, Digitizing and Plotting Equipment, CNC Cutting Machines, Automatic Spreading Machines, Leather Cutting Machines, Template Automatic Sewing Machines, Unit Production Systems (UPS) And Hanging Storage Systems. Our complete product portfolio helps our customer maximize productivity and profitability.
The USA has lost its manufacturing leadership, especially in Garment and Textile industry, because the manufacturers have migrated their plants and factories to the lower labor cost and economic rising developing countries, especially Brazil, Russia, India and China.
This is why Yin is committed to help the USA regain competitiveness and sustainability. Local manufacturers must respond with higher quality, efficiency, and productivity, which could be achieved by implementing new high-efficiency production processes on existing products, and new products based on emerging technology. Most large manufacturers are adapting advanced manufacturing techniques to keep up with the high demands of the modern market.
