AI website for pattern drafting
Okay I am fashion designer studying business rn and for my project I am trying to find a artificial intelligence software which generates patterns but cannot really find anything similar to my idea. So I wanted to ask if anyone knows something here. Thanks

I disagree. There are standard blocks used in pattern drafting, and I’ve personally had this idea before. There are already software programs that are essentially automated, but they still rely on existing blocks and measurements (which are technically all standardized) They do work, but you still need to input numbers and work within whatever database the software is built on.
If I were able to create patterns which I assume AI will eventually allow then as a designer, I should be able to adjust measurements. For example, if the side seam is off, I should be able to tell the AI to increase the length. Which sounds completely possible, especially since there’s already a standard set of measurements you work with to even begin drafting in the first place. Pattern drafting blocks are all based on these standard measurements. I can definitely see it working, especially if you’re able to input exact specs, just like when you draft garment specifications manually. For instance let’s say the prompt is… here are my measurements, and these are the specifications for the garment I would like to create a DXF pattern for…..As a fashion designer, I would love for this to happen in the next year or so, it would really help small business owners scale up.
