Expedite your design development. Create at fashion’s cutting edge.

In this certificate program, you learn how to use the industry-standard fashion design software Clo3D for design development and presentation. This software eliminates the need for a traditional sewing studio and reduces consumption of materials.

Your study of Clo3D enables you to create virtual 3D samples using best practices and workflow and provides you with basic knowledge of patternmaking and digital pattern files. You learn how to instantly modify patterns, fit, and fabrication, with the ability to view changes in colors, prints, and graphics. Finally, you create a presentation-ready 3D environmental space with high-quality rendered images and animations.
