FS 3470 - CAD Production Patternmaking


Credits: 3

This advanced-level course expands the knowledge of CAD design technologies used in manufacturing production to include the development of production patterns, pattern grading, zero waste markers, laser cutting, and inventory control. Students will experience the full capacity of pattern design software systems to understand the process of a product’s mass production cycle along with the skills to make decisions of cost efficiency. Upon successful completion of this course, students will have the knowledge to develop and supervise the engineering of mass pattern parts prepared for construction in production manufacturing.

Prerequisites: FS 2410 - Design Technologies  and FS 1350 - Construction II: Draping + Drafting  

Course Learning Outcomes:
  • Discuss CAD design technologies with a focus on creative potential and industry-standard techniques.
  • Develop production patterns, pattern grading, efficient markers, and inventory control.
  • Calculate actual and estimated costs of garment construction and identify opportunities for cost efficiency.
  • Develop skills in mass pattern engineering for construction in production manufacturing.
