CLO

CLO is a specialized 3D fashion design platform that enables designers, pattern makers, and technical teams to create, simulate, and refine garments in a virtual environment. The software allows users to import or draft 2D patterns, stitch them together digitally, and visualize the result as a true-to-life 3D garment on customizable avatars. Its physics-based simulation engine accurately represents fabric behavior, including drape, stretch, and weight, enabling realistic fit and movement analysis before any physical sample is produced.

Key features include a comprehensive pattern editing suite, a library of fabrics and trims, grading tools, and support for multiple garment layers and complex constructions. CLO supports integration with existing workflows through compatibility with common 2D CAD formats and 3D file types, making it suitable for collaboration between design, development, and production teams. Use cases range from initial concept development and sample reduction to fit validation, colorway exploration, and digital showrooms for merchandising and sales. By enabling rapid iteration, visual accuracy, and detailed technical output, CLO helps apparel businesses shorten development cycles, reduce material waste, and improve communication across the product creation process.
