Hardware

CAD - Computer aided design.

this is used to create designs on computers allowing the production of clothes to be far more accurate and economical. it allows designs to be changed or modified within seconds. You can use it to produce a design for one season of clothing and if it was a best seller, then the design could be altered for the next season within seconds.

CAM - Computer aided manufacture.

This can be used from basic patterns, that can be exchanged from paper onto the computer, so that everything is precise to the milimetre.


Laser Cutting -

technology used for cutting materials such a wood, fabric, acrylic and many others. It is used by concentrated lasers that can be used to cut out shapes of patterns in materials or engrave into materials. I cannot be used to cut metal or hard materials, it can only be used for enscribing.
