Fashion technology solutions provider Tukatech announced the release of its latest version of TUKA3D, the company’s popular 3D system that is used by operations worldwide.

Version 2022 offers an open system that allows brands, retailers, factories and designers to work efficiently in a virtual process. Designers can use CLO, Browzwear or any 3D program that uses the same avatar and uses 2D models to create digital looks that can be sent to a supplier. With TUKA3D, users can view fabrics and upholstery in 2D or 3D before taking a physical sample, reducing waste. Sellers can view the body of the exact 3D fit model to verify the fit, and once the fit is approved, the styling can then go through the manufacturing process.

“Each 3D system requires three elements: a 2D flattened, a 3D avatar, and the digital fabric. The three are not the same in all 3D systems, which is why vendors who develop the end product cannot use data from other 3D systems used by designers, ”said Ram Sareen, Founder and CEO by Tukatech. “We have the largest 3D user base where fit is the primary focus. Our avatars are constructed either with a real body scan or with a 3D sculpture. In 2021, we enabled users of other 3D systems to start with true avatar replicas from our extensive library of over 700 models. It gives exactly the same results no matter who added value at each step. Sellers can see the fit and use that data to make the final garment.
