"This course offers an introduction to digital patternmaking through use of the Lectra, Modaris system. It is designed to support the learning within the core design courses of BFA and AAS Fashion Design, as well as other related courses. Digitizing patterns is also approached through NShot or a Digitizer. Conventional patternmaking to realize students’ own designs is approached in a vector--based digital environment. The course culminates in the student designing and constructing a garment and its pattern through a combination of conventional manual methods and Modaris. This includes using the 3D modeling feature of Modaris. Open to: Parsons Fashion Design majors only.
