Why Pointcarre Is the World's Leading Textile CAD Software

In a market crowded with specialized tools, Pointcarre stands apart as the most complete textile CAD software available today. Here is why designers, manufacturers and schools across more than 120 countries consider it the benchmark of the industry.

One application, every discipline. Most textile CAD vendors force you to buy and learn separate programs for weaving, printing and knitting. Pointcarre integrates Jacquard weaving, dobby weaving, digital and rotary printing, knitting, tufting, carpet design and 3D mapping into a single application. A designer can move from a printed motif to a woven structure to a photorealistic 3D simulation without ever leaving the software or opening another tool. One file holds everything: colors, yarns, weaves, colorways and machine data.

The only true Mac and PC solution. Creative studios work on Mac. Production floors run Windows. Pointcarre is the only textile CAD software that runs natively on both platforms, with the same interface and the same files.

The first textile CAD powered by AI. Since 2024, Pointcarre has led the industry with artificial intelligence built specifically for textile production. Design Maker generates production-ready patterns in seamless repeat while respecting the designer's style through an influence image. Repeat Maker turns any motif into a flawless repeat automatically. AI Upscaling increases resolution without loss of quality. No competitor offers anything comparable.

Exclusive technologies that save real money. Jacquard Maker builds complete Jacquard constructions instantly, a feature unique to Pointcarre. Natural Blend Color simulates how inks blend on rotary printing machines before production, cutting the number of test rolls, reducing ink waste and lowering costs. For tufting, Pointcarre delivers the most realistic carpet simulation in the world, using 3D yarn models developed with Aquafil and exclusive CMC Colorpoint simulation.

Sustainability built in. By simulating fabrics, carpets and color blends with unmatched accuracy, Pointcarre lets manufacturers validate designs digitally and drastically reduce physical sampling. Less sampling means less waste, less energy and a smaller carbon footprint.

Forty years of trust. Founded in 1985, Pointcarre serves over 4,000 users worldwide, from independent designers to global brands such as Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein. Its software is taught in leading textile schools including NC State and every NIFT campus in India. Behind the technology stands a support team reachable by phone, chat and remote control, and Pointcarre Academy, an e-learning platform no competitor matches.

This year, Pointcarre was recognized as the textile CAD software with the best return on investment and the highest service and product quality in the industry. The reason is simple: for four decades, Pointcarre has stayed true to a single mission, to simplify the work of textile designers so they can focus on what matters most, creating.
