Soft-goods technology solutions provider Lectra, Paris, now offers Kaledo® V3, an updated version of its Kaledo fashion-specific design software. The company reports the textile design suite for creating prints, knits and wovens enables designers to experiment across fabrics while balancing business objectives and production constraints.

"Demand has intensified for original designs and high quality, which means that fashion companies now face the double challenge of producing rapidly and meeting consumer desires for something unique," said Anastasia Charbin, marketing director, Fashion, Lectra. "Designers need a professional tool that allows them to turn inefficiency into design time."

Kaledo V3 offers enhanced yarn shading options, a structured method of sharing and saving information, and enhanced technical report creation owing to new features that update fabric specifications automatically.
