TEXINTEL LIVE SMART MANUFACTURING INTERVIEW WITH JULIA VAN DER SOMMEN OF THE PATTERN ROOM
In this interview with Julia Van Der Sommen we explore the use of digital patterns.
Based in Australia, the Pattern Room hold over 100,000 individual garment templates all of which are available on demand, for instant download.
Size and garment fit are essential for the Apparel industry if it is to reduce waste. We take a deep dive into the challenges and the benefits of digital production.
In this roundtable, NedGraphics President Frank Maeder and 10Duke CEO Neil Fenton unpack one of the least glamorous - but most business critical - topics in creative production: Software licensing.
Together, they explore why legacy hardware dongles and static license keys are holding the industry back, how COVID exposed their limitations, and why user‑centric, identity‑based licensing is now essential for global, hybrid workflows. From roaming designers in New York to production teams in remote factories, they reveal how to remove friction, reduce downtime, and keep creative tools securely in the hands of the people who need them.
If you’re in fashion, design, CAD/CAM, or any creative production environment and want to future‑proof your software delivery, this discussion is packed with insight and real‑world examples.
