3D rendering

Rendering a virtual prototype drastically save time and money in any wetsuit development process to fine-tune the neoprene color and printing choices. It also helps to sort out the design misguided choices, showing how the wetsuit would look as a finished product.

During our exchanges with our customers, it often happens that we propose 15 to 20 different colour proposals to help Product Managers to get some feedbacks from their sales agent, retailers and customers about which wetsuit would fit their requirements.

On the other hand, this capacity to supply any angled and perspective view of the designed wetsuit really helps to illustrate the specification files, to point out where to add seam taping, liquid seals, double or single thread blindstitching or bartacks for example.

Sales rep’s catalogues are also an important application of these 3D renders, with stitching, printing, embossing and texturing if required. It helps our customer’s sales representatives to introduce the coming summer/winter collection to their retailers, giving them strong sales tools to be viewed on tablet PC or Ipad.

Rendering previously to prototyping reduce by more than 50% the number of prototypes to be developed before confirming reference samples for mass production. It also give the possibility to develop a one-off wetsuit for special events or exclusive professional requirements.
