A webinar organized by Lectra India – a leading fashion, textile, technical textile and automotive technology company – focused on the need for fabric optimization in factories by apparel industry stakeholders. The webinar was moderated by Suraj Niranjan, Marketing Head along with Rajeev Sharma, Solution Consultant, Lectra India. The webinar focused on how product development and production teams often struggle to bring innovative and cost-effective apparel products to the market quickly.

As around 40-60 per cent of the garment making cost is spent on fabrics, it is very important to save every square inch of fabric in order to secure profit margins and stay ahead of the competition, it said. Rajeev Sharma shed light on Lectra’s cloud-based software Diamino which helps apparel companies get the maximum output of their fabric by accurately estimating their fabric consumption. It also allows cutting room to automatically process markers to further create the most cost-efficient fabric layouts through its cloud application Quick Nest.
