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.
One of the key points where re-building the entire software was really important was the Size Set, which is one of the most complicated and critical part of garment developing. We started from basic needs such as the need to manage multiple grading types, combined with grading groups, followed by the need to manage sizes (add, insert, delete, alter) and the need to differentiate names (alias) from the numerical properties of a grade. Yin CAD's new Size Set system is based on numerical indexes and aliases which allow all above mentioned operations to be handled in simple, logical and easy to understand way. We realized that instead of trying to explain to a garments designer what is a "cartesian product" or "disjoint sets", it is much better to provide a visual way to understand these concepts and work with them.
At this point, we can claim that Yin's way of handling all the problems related to the size set management is the top of the market and will define the industry's standard for the coming years.

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.
