“Digital fashion shows offer clothes without production, pollution or waste, and these events take place without any international flights.”
“3D digital renders have become pivotal for retailers in e‑commerce and design, hastening design processes and enhancing online shopping experiences.”
“3D digital design helps brands design and sample clothing more quickly and with less waste.”
2D
2D patterns are imported into CAD software as exact digital replicas. If you only have paper / card patterns, we can digitise them for you.
How it works

3D
The digital pattern pieces are sewn into realistic, virtual 3D garments. Ideal for prototyping, internal sign-off, ghost mannequin e-commerce images or embedded 360 viewing online.
AI
Physically accurate 3D models are converted into AI-enhanced, photo-realistic images and videos, ideal for marketing, campaigns and more.
Get ahead of the Curve
We understand that adopting 3D and AI can feel like stepping into the unknown. That’s why we’re here, to demystify the process and provide practical guidance and support as you optimise your business for future growth.

We make it simple
Why 3D garment design matters
3D garment design turns your tech packs and patterns into digital, true-to-life versions of your garments - before you make a single physical prototype.
THESE 3D ASSETS CAN BE USED FOR:
-
Style prototyping and internal sign-off
-
Create photo-realistic images and videos for use on e-commerce
-
Lookbooks, social media, and even ad campaigns
-
Onboarding and training new designers
-
Retain ownership of all your design IP in a structured, secure digital library
Spend Less
70% fewer physical prototypes and samples needed per style.
Move Faster
60–70% faster approval time across design + development.
Waste Less
Reduction in fabric waste and carbon output.
Efficiency & Costs
Overall, 48% lower pre-production cost.
How we work with you
Test before you invest with our pilot programme
We start small, so you can scale with confidence.
Flexible partnership: Either keep us as your ongoing 3D production team, or use us to help build your internal capability – including recruitment and staff training.
YOUR PILOT:
-
Send us 10 styles (tech packs + DXFs*)
-
We convert them into high-fidelity 3D assets and images
-
You receive usable files for prototyping, sell-in decks, e-comm, and more
-
The pilot runs over 2 weeks, start to finish
Our full offer includes:
-
Pattern-to-3D asset pipeline (3D modelling, fit-to-avatar, materials, rendering)
-
Optional AI-enhancement, animation, turntables, web-optimised or AR outputs
-
Access to all project files to store on your internal systems
-
Option for in-house or outsourced production:
-
Dedicated freelance designers, or permanent 3D designers, recruited and trained by us
-
Full-service, remote 3D Studio
What brands usually ask us
"Will this integrate with our current software and workflows?"
Yes. We work with CLO 3D, Style3D and more. You’ll receive compatible formats and clean files you can reuse across teams.
"Can we train our team to do this in-house?"
Yes. Once your pilot’s complete, we can upskill your team. Or continue as your external partner while you scale up.
Is this just for e-comm or is it useful for development?"
It's both. Teams use our 3D assets for faster approvals, earlier range planning, and better comms with buying, merchandising, and factories.
"How much does it cost?"
Pilot projects start at £3,800. Full-service packages are tailored to your requirements.
