Lectra Presents Its Latest Innovations for Footwear, Luggage and Leather Goods at the Materials at WSA Expo & Conference
Lectra announced they will showcase its complete, integrated range dedicated to footwear, luggage and leather goods markets at the Materials at WSA Expo & Conference in Las Vegas, Nevada from February 12 - 14, 2009. The latest version of Romans Cad® -- state-of-the-art 3D solution which allows for real-time modification, validation and collaboration, will be on display.
Romans Cad Software Data Management is the only product data management (PDM) software dedicated to footwear currently available on the market. It significantly accelerates the collection creation process through real-time sharing between decision-makers, designers, suppliers and customers of all data generated during the design phase of new products. This information may be in the form of technical documents but may also be highly realistic 3D simulations. The integration of Romans Cad Software Data Management with other applications throughout the product design chain can more than halve the time needed to design a new collection and drastically cut costs by reducing production time and the number of prototypes needed. Those involved in the process receive and share unique, customized information in real time, regardless of whether they are working on site or remotely.
Integrating the know-how of designers with the power and ease-of-use of the Romans Cad has made designing on a 3D digital last more creative and given better simulation of models and a significantly reduced development process. Romans Cad Software 3D design combines traditional know how from the trade with the latest technological innovations to increase the number of virtual models on the one hand and reduce the number of samples and associated costs on the other. Applying methodologies tailored to the needs of the footwear sector makes it possible to focus on added value during the industrialization phase, and cuts out the repetitive tasks involved in development.
Contour® Lumiere 2 for prototyping and small runs
Contour® Lumiere 2 is a key element in optimizing leather cutting for prototypes and small runs. It can be disconnected from the production machines if necessary, and optimizes cutting times by allowing the combination of manual and automatic nesting of specific pieces, guaranteeing maximum process flexibility.
Used with Romans Cad Software Data Management, this complete, integrated range means manufacturers can guarantee the quality of production data, improve the communication of information, gain in performance and significantly reduce material consumption.
The Romans Cad range consists of Romans Cad Software 3D Design, Romans Cad Software 2D Pattern, Romans Cad Software Last Maker, Romans Cad Software SL, Romans Cad Software Sole, Romans Cad Software Bag, Romans Cad Software Lumiere and Romans Cad Software Data Management.
