The Indian leather goods industry has been expanding rapidly and its export performance in the last five years is very striking. The ever-growing competitive International market for the manufacture of sophisticated, fashion oriented and value added leather products has necessitated the need for design and quality inputs.

At this stage of development, there is a long felt need for short duration courses, preferably of part-time in nature. CLRI launches this new training programme with state of the art facilities to provide necessary technical expertise in pattern designing of leather goods (manual as well as Computer Aided Design) to meet the requirements of fashion and quality conscious International market. The proposed course would enhance the capabilities of the existing personnel in the industry.

Pattern design engineering is a niche element in the apparel design and production. Conventional, manual methods of pattern designing and grading requires skilled personal and time consuming. Use of computer aided design (CAD) systems have rendered much of the above exercises simple and precise.

Alterations/modifications, repeated routine operations at the touch of the key, efficient and interactive marker and costing layout, plotting and cutting of the graded patterns are some of the salient features of the CAD systems for apparel design.

The other significant advantages are

• Material optimisation
• Lead time minimisation
• Enhanced storage and quick retrieval
• Production planning
• Costing analysis

The need for the trained manpower in CAD applications for apparel design & production is ever increasing and CLAD at CLRI offers specialised programmes in CAD applications in apparel design and Grading.

Curriculum

• Introduction to computers & operating system
• Pattern input and editing
• Pattern grading
• Marker making and cost lay plan
• Pattern cutting and Plotting

Vision Fashion Studio Modules

Artworks Drape
Draping lets you apply textures to photographs, line drawings and sketches. Using Draping’s tools for editing shadows and creating realistic contours, you can drape multiple textures over an image, add shadows, add brightness, contrast and much more to create extraordinary photographic simulations.

Color Reduction and Cleaning
Helps you reduce the many colors in scanned images to a de?ned number of cho­sen colors. You can clean misplaced pixels of color, view color separations - even preview the image as you work.

Design and Repeat
Create and modify print designs easily because Vision Fashion Studio maintains the ?ow of the repeat pattern for you. Witness your changes as they occur in real time.

Easy Coloring
Create unlimited color versions of a design using Pantone textile codes, HSV, RGB values or your own color palette. Tools are designed to imitate tasks you do by hand. Witness a selection of colorways for your print design in a matter of seconds. Try automatic or random color adjustment, or create an original design.

Storyboard and Cataloging
Use this versatile tool to create presentations of articles and collections, as well as product catalogs and storyboards.

Easy Weave
Design realistic woven fabrics on a virtual weaving loom by quickly selecting the warp and weft yarns. Create a custom weave texture or choose from thousands of standard weave patterns. Simulated shadows will bring your design to life!

Curriculum

2D Pattern Engineering (Four weeks)

From its advent way back in the 80’s to the present time, Computer Aided Designing has been making tremendous impact both in the design and manufacture of footwear. A stage has come wherein the complete process can be automated and executed with ease using modern technology. The need for higher quality and faster introduction of new designs is placing extra pressures on every company making footwear. Being the first to have a new style on the shelf is often the difference between its success and its failure. With a range of advanced CAD/CAM software, footwear manufacturers can cut their time to market dramatically and so increase market share and profitability. In addition, the power and flexibility of the software can overcome restrictions to the designer’s creativity imposed by traditional methods.

To help the Indian footwear industry take advantage of this technology and stay a step ahead of competition, the Central Leather Research Institute through its Shoe Design and Development Centre is offering specialized CAD courses for the industry personnel. The schedule and syllabus has been tailored especially for beginners to include all functions you will need in order to both design and engineer 2D designs and patterns. Organised into a manageable daily schedule, you will be gradually introduced to all relevant functions that will help you work with the Shoemaster CAD system.

Online (e-Learning) Course: Leather goods/accessories contribute to one third of the Indian leather products export. Designers and pattern makers are in good demand in the leather goods industries at India and other countries around the world. Design and making of leather goods involves many skilled operations including sketching, pattern making, cutting, table operations, stitching, finishing etc. There is limited number of institutions to supply the required manpower to the industry. Hence it is aimed to develop a training course which provides convenience and flexibility to the learner so that large number of people are encouraged to enrol and make this a carrier option. CLRI has developed an online course (or) E-Learning course for leather goods design.
