| What is GEMINI? Gemini CAD Creative is the complete CAD solution for apparel industry, providing fast and accurate support for the entire preparation of a new garment, from simple design to production optimisation. Gemini CAD Creative is delivered as a package containing the PC station and the three major software applications: Gemini Pattern Editor, Gemini Cut Plan and Gemini Nest Expert. Please check the technical data sheet of each individual application to find more Gemini CAD Creative working station can be used as a stand-alone design station or |     |
| integrated in a local network, offering a large flexibilty to perfectly fit any user requirements. For input and output, Gemini CAD Creative can work with a wide range of plotters and digitizers and can import directly files from Gerber, Lectra and Assyst native format and also from DXF-AAMA files. The main software applications Gemini package are: Gemini Pattern Editor | Gemini Cut Plan | Gemini Nest Expert | |
| How it works? | |
| Pattern design When you design your own products or collections, Gemini Pattern Editor is the software environment in which the designer's ideas are easily transposed in perfectly built and checked pattern projects. Gifted with unique design functions like reversible folds and darts, automatic & interactive seam allowance creation, automatic notch translation and the all-sizes dimension watcher, GEMINI systems |     |
| allows a quick and perfect pattern design. Automatic grading and the interactive grading functions allows the previous experience to be stored in grading rules and easily applied to the new products. Gemini Pattern Editor is based on Bezier curves, but can also handle complex polyline or B-Spline Curves. The GPE's interface has a very different approach compared to other CAD applications, because is built to be extremely user friendly, according to the latest software standards. The average time for a new user to learn the application is less than a week. | |
| Digitizing If you are usually using paper pattern from you partners the first step is to digitize those patterns. By digitization, the geometrical shapes of the pattern are transmitted with high precision to the computer in order to be stored in digital format. The pattern is |  |
| positioned on the digitizing table and the operator follows the contour using the pointing device, also marking notches, darts, grain line and other technical elements. This operation may take up to 5-10 minutes, according to the operator skills. The digitizing step can be skipped if the client sends you the patterns as computer files, directly imported by Gemini Pattern Editor. Gemini is fully compatible with all major CAD systems and recognizes the most used type of CAD files. Gemini CAD has built - in direct convertors from Lectra, Gerber and Assyst. It is also capable to import and export in standard international format like AAMA DXF or HPGL. | |
| Checking and Modifying All patterns can be automatically checked for problems concerning the seam line length, the matching of notches and the geometrical shapes correspondence. Patterns can be displayed and checked folded or unfolded, with or without seam allowance, with the darts closed or opened. All measurements are stored by the program in a special table called watcher. This watcher is a unique tool, very useful because it allows the user |     |
| to supervise the changes on all the sizes of a piece as they happen, while modifications or grading are done. Checking a medium complexity product takes about 5 to 10 minutes. All measurements are automatically calculated and displayed on the base size as well on graded sizes. This table also accepts formula to calculate combined dimensions, using simple mathematical operations. | |
| Cut and lay planning In the Gemini Cut Plan (GCP) application, the operator sets the quantity of garments ordered by the client for each model, size and fabric, and some general settings regarding cutting: the length of the spreading table, the maximum number of sheets in the lay and the fabric width. The GEMINI CUT PLAN application can automatically generate the most efficient plan for size grouping and distribution on markers, so a |   |
| minimal number of markers and lays are needed to obtain the ordered quantities. This automatic operation takes only few seconds to complete. The user may choose among several automatic strategies of lay planning, as well as manual or semiautomatic methods, so the best results are obtained every time. | |
| Automatic marker making Gemini stepped over border where the automatic nesting is better than the manual nesting, both on speed and efficiency. Gemini Nest Expert is based on state of the art technology and algorithms that will provide excellent nesting results in record time. It can |  |
| run full automatic nesting for one individual marker or work continuously for a list of markers, with no human intervention required. The usual time needed for an average marker of 8 m is about 3-5 minutes. The average results in terms of speed and efficiency are considerably higher than manual nesting. Gemini Nest Expert can perform full automatic nesting on simple, folded or tubular fabrics, with or without plaids, stripes or textures, with specific widths and contractions, according to each piece specifications and restrictions. | |
