Why Choose TUKA3D
By building virtual 3D clothing samples and testing them in Tukatech's 3D Apparel design software, designers and
manufacturers can adjust and modify the true fit of a garment without creating a series of costly physical samples.
TUKA3D easily converts 2D patterns into stunningly realistic 3D samples that accurately simulate the weight,
stretch, color and other values of any fabric. TUKA3D is the apparel industry's most advanced 3D CAD system, and
is used by garment makers of all skill levels all over the world.
What TUKA3D Can Do For You
Tukatech's 3D Apparel design software is fashion software that is perfect for designers, pattern makers, and apparel
companies. By creating virtual prototypes before physical samples, designs can be modified more easily,
significantly shortening the sample approval process. TUKA3D has a multitude of uses, from instant product
customization to making flawless marketing displays.
How Tuka3D works
Tukatech's 3D Apparel Virtual Prototyping software takes a digital (CAD) pattern and a set of fabric values (such as
stretch, weight, etc.) and creates a digital sample of the garment, draped on a 3D virtual fit model, using the latest in
cloth simulation technology. Users of Tuka3D provide the software with the pattern, the type of fabric and the
measurements and shape of the fit model, and the software will accurately create the sample. The TUKA3D CAD
program is designed with users in mind, and is easy to learn and use. TUKA3D can create many samples in much
less time than it would take to sew and deliver a physical garment, and provides a multitude of data about a garment
unavailable anywhere else.

TUKAstudio - Color Separations
Select Language
Specifically designed to get the separation and cleaning job done quickly and efficiently.
Color Separations is a software module with tools specifically designed to get the color separation and cleaning job done quickly and
efficiently. This design module has a fast, easy, intuitive, and visual method of producing perfect color separations and powerful
automatic cleaning functions. It is specifically designed to facilitate intuitive point and click visual selections.
We have researched hundreds of methods of color separation techniques. This research has now paid off in the development of a
number of the quickest and most accurate ways of separating scanned images into the number of colors that you will be using in your
apparel and textile production. Best of all, the program will automatically "clean up" your work. In minutes your designs will be in
"print perfect" condition, ready to be manipulated in graphic design software.
The new generation of quick, inexpensive desktop and larger scale scanners now
allows you to import designs directly into Color Separations. To translate these raw
scans into a usable form for design and accurate re-coloring, CAD artists will need to color separate the scan into a specific number of
color channels. Four color (CMYK) process separations, standard to the graphic arts industry, are not applicable to most textile and
wall-covering manufacturing applications.
So, simply choose one of our unique separation techniques, and the program will
immediately let you see how the color-separated design will look, before you have
processed the image. This feature lets the artist choose the best technique for their design. Should you be working with
antique swatches, or original artwork that has
seen some weathering, Color Separations offers the most advanced and intuitive cleaning tools. These tools quickly and
easily remove any "dirt" or stray pixels that have been scattered throughout the design.
If you are working with high quality artwork, our automatic cleaning functions will
eliminate this cleaning process altogether.
Features
The fastest color reduction tools in the industry
Color reduce any kind of artwork or image into the exact number of colors you want Intuitive point and click color
selection
Specific processes developed for color reduction by specific substrates, including fabric paper, pastels, Xerox, and
others

New Features & Enhancements
3D Intergration
TUKAcad and TUKAstudio are now fully integrated with E-Fit Simulator by TUKA. The TUKAdesign program comes pre-loaded with
libraries of graded 3D Basic Block Patterns for Women, Men, and Children with different body types. The Styles have been pre-stitched
and pre-draped in cotton muslin fabric and are ready for modification in CAD with live updates to E-fit.
Fabric designs can be quickly modified or created like the changing of repeats, adding motifs to a print, rescaling images, creating knits and weaves, creating multiple
colorways, etc. in TUKAstudio. Then these modified prints can be easily applied to the 3D garments in E-fit.
Notch Tool Enhancements
The Notch dialog has been greatly improved in many aspects for both Pattern Makers and Graders. All Attributes for the notch are now
visible on one layer.
1. You will now see all distances (Proportionally, From Previous, From Next Point) for every size in the dialog.
2. You may now copy and paste measures from the fields in Measure Dialog or any Excel Fields into the fields of the new Notch Dialog.
3. Notching seam corners has been improved for custom corner shapes.
4. Incremental size breaks can now be auto applied to grade notches.
Data Management in Windows Explorer
All Style and Marker files can be easily managed by a non- CAD user via Windows Explorer. All files contain summary information in
the Thumbnail view, and all standard Windows functions can be used. Multiple files can be plotted, updated, converted to different
formats, and pattern cards can be generated as a BATCH Command. This eliminates having to create custom batch files. Batch
processing does not require the program to be opened or any special software to be used.
Improved handling of Program Resources
TUKAcad applications now launch faster and can accommodate multiple styles opened simultaneously provided your computer has
updated recommend specs by TUKATECH.
Half Size Grading
You can easily insert new sizes in-between existing sizes and the system will divide all grading in half. The half size grading feature is
extremely convenient to produce sizes fast and automatically (i.e. 38, 38 , 39, 39 , 40, 40 ) without having to edit any current
rules.
Shrinkage Factor
New option added to the Scale & Shrink dialog to add values to the patterns based on the actual fabric shrinkage proportional to
100%.
Guideline Perpendicular
New option in the Segment Menu lets you create a single or multiple Guidelines perpendicular to the selected point(s) on a piece.
Dart Enhancements
The Dart Tool has now be enhanced so that multiple commands such as create dart, move dart, pivot dart, and Fix dart can all be done
using one Tool. The functions have greatly reduced the amount of steps in dart manipulation.
Join Pieces
This tool has been simplified to remove seams along the joined segments and user can pick start and end points of uneven segments.
Pleat Tool
This tool has been enhanced in order to create any pleat opened or closed with one tool. The tool also has option to create parallel
pleats along a segment. Every pleat is automatically configured to stitch and fold when transferred to E-Fit Simulator which greatly
reduces the prep work for simulation of pleated garments.
Piece List
The Piece list will now display multiple line descriptions in the description field. This will also show in the Pattern Card as well.
Move Along Tool
This tool was combined with the Move Point along Segment Dialog. The user has many more options to move a point along the contour
while seeing the distances all in one dialog.
Rotate Piece/Contour Enhancement
This tool now has quick angle buttons and an incremental apply button added to the dialog. Now you can rotate from a point
incrementally until confirmed.
Plotting Enhancements
The Plotting dialog now lets you configure any plotter/cutter settings profile and saves this information independently for each device.
No need to switch plot /cut options when changing from one device to another. User login info can also be plotted as a footer at the
end of each plot file or even added to each pieces description when plotting from TUKAdesign. Darts and Pleats have different notch
options for plotting in both Design and Mark.
Measure & Compare Length
Measurements from these 2 dialogs can be copied and pasted directly into Spec Sheet fields in MS Office applications and also linked to
Tukatechs TUKAplan PDM/PLM system with grading rule breakdowns
Seam Corners
Improvements made to the seam tool to match special seam corners.
Variation Grading
Improved procedure to pick and choose what sizes will load into the SmartMark order.
