Jacquard Raschel

Jacquard Raschel is a versatile and comprehensive software solution designed specifically for the development of Jacquard Raschel patterns. It provides a wide array of functions and tools, empowering designers and technicians to maximize both their creative potential and production efficiency when generating and processing patterns for Jacquard Raschel machines.

The software enables rapid design realization, allowing users to go seamlessly from initial sketch to finished pattern. Key features include scaling, repeating, contouring, float management, and the setup of various structures, all of which can be directly exported as machine data compatible with Raschel knitting machines. This streamlines the transition from design concept to production, saving time and reducing errors.

Rich set of design functions provides extensive creative freedom—from intricate pattern creation to detailed structural adjustments—supported by sophisticated editing modules that facilitate pattern development with precision. These modules support complex pattern creation, enabling the development of innovative fabrics tailored to specific technical or aesthetic requirements.

The system offers fast-track preparation of machine-readable data suitable for all types of Jacquard Raschel machines, ensuring compatibility with a variety of equipment brands and models. It also benefits from a close collaboration with Karl Mayer, the world’s leading manufacturer of Jacquard Raschel machines, ensuring the software remains aligned with industry standards and technological advancements.

An outstanding feature is the real-time fabric simulation during pattern development. This allows designers to visualize the fabric appearance instantly, providing immediate feedback on how the pattern will look when knitted. This dynamic visualization assists in making design adjustments on the fly, reduces the need for physical sampling, and ensures the fabric meets the desired specifications before production begins.

In summary, Jacquard Raschel combines powerful design, editing, and simulation tools—supporting innovation, optimizing workflow, and enabling seamless integration into high-end textile manufacturing processes.

Multibar Lace

Multibar Lace within DesignScope Lace (formerly known as ProCad Developer) offers a comprehensive suite of functions designed to maximize both creative freedom and development productivity when creating and processing Multibar and Jacquardtronic® patterns.
