FROM SLIDER
TO CUTTER.

Six steps from an empty browser tab to a graded pattern, a factory-ready tech pack and a drop on the cutting table. No CAD chops required.

01Step 1 of 6

Pick a block.

Open the studio and choose a starting block — hoodie, t-shirt, crewneck, sweats. Every block is production-tested and graded XS to 4XL out of the box.

0114 streetwear blocks at launch
02New blocks each release
03Status flags so you know what is stable, beta or new
02Step 2 of 6

Dial the spec.

Sliders for chest, length, sleeve, drop, rib, hood and pocket. The schematic and tech-pack flat redraw live as you move them — no Illustrator, no DXF jigsaw.

01Live parametric pattern preview
02Numeric input for exact specs
03Save presets for house fits
03Step 3 of 6

Grade the run.

XS through 4XL by default. Tweak the rule per measurement, per size, or freeze a number for accessibility blocks. Every grade is exportable.
