Our 4-Step Pattern Engineering Process
Designed for overseas buyers and global brands needing reliable, transparent, and accurate development cycles.
Tech Pack & Spec Analysis
We review technical drawings, measurement specs, and fabric stretch characteristics to establish the foundational seam logic and balance lines.
First-Edition Pattern Drafting
Master patternmakers construct initial patterns via 2D/3D CAD software or hand-draping, calculating shrink rates and fabric yield optimization.
3D & Physical Fit Revisions
Sample muslins or prototypes are fitted on live models. Pattern alterations are executed instantly to perfect drape, movement, and seam stress points.
CAD Grading & Digitization
Final approved patterns are digitized into CAD formats (DXF/ASTM) and graded across full size ranges with grade-rule accuracy for global factory cutlines.
Frequently Asked Questions
What digital pattern formats do you provide for international factories?
We export production-ready files in DXF-AAMA, DXF-ASTM, Gerber, Optitex, and printable 1:1 scale PDF formats. These files are universally compatible with international automated cutting machines and digital plotters.
Do you work with overseas procurement managers and remote designers?
Yes. Over 40% of our luxury clientele operates globally. We manage fittings via high-definition virtual fitting sessions, detailed fit reports, and 3D digital avatar simulations to eliminate geographic constraints.
How does TEG ensure pattern accuracy prior to full production runs?
Every pattern developed at TEG undergoes rigorous physical sample testing and shrinkage testing in actual production textiles before final grading approval, guaranteeing zero pattern-related defects during bulk manufacturing.
Can we order sample making alongside pattern development?
Absolutely. TEG is a fully integrated facility. Our master samplemakers work directly with your assigned patternmaker under one roof, accelerating prototype turnaround and ensuring perfect pattern-to-sample fidelity.
