Visualise your design ideas in 3D and transform how you develop collections.
What will I learn?
Fashion designers are increasingly asked to prototype garments digitally, experiment with silhouettes faster, and communicate visual ideas to cross-functional teams, all without relying on traditional sampling.

You’ll discover how to rapidly translate ideas into 3D prototypes, experiment with silhouettes and colourways, and produce professional visuals to bring your collection concepts to life.
