Fashion Dot CAD
Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India
What it is
Fashion Dot CAD creates full-size garment patterns from customer measurements for tailoring businesses. It includes more than 1,000 Indian and western patterns and can automatically grade patterns from S through 5XL in one click. A nesting engine plans fabric use; the maker says it can improve utilisation by up to 40%. Designs can be exported as DXF, PLT, PDF, JPG, or PNG for standard printers, plotters, projectors, and laser cutters. The software runs on Windows and is available in English, Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, and Kannada. Its perpetual license is a one-time purchase with lifetime updates and no subscription or annual renewal. Pricing starts at ₹49,999, excluding 18% GST. There is no trial period, but Fashion Dot offers a free live demo. Packages include installation and training: Starter installation is remote, while the other listed packages include on-site installation. Support options include phone, WhatsApp, remote desktop, and on-site help. The maker says the software normally runs locally without sending or storing pattern files on its servers, though license validation may communicate with them.
