That clothing design and production process sounds fascinating. A search on some of the terms doesn't seem to return anything useful... do you have any good reads or videos for an outsider to understand a typical workflow?
I just learned it from her directly, and was surprised when she mentioned Gerber files. I used those for PCB design, and it's the same file format that they use for clothes!
That general summary was great, and plenty of jumping-off points. And the knowing the terminology helps. Thanks.
I'm with you, it bears uncanny parallels to the PCB design workflow. Not just the Gerbers, but the component/fabric selection, simulation, design drawings, etc.
This article looks like it has a general summary:
