Every design, its machine’s own file.

Patterns has eight engines. Each takes the design Mathical 1.0 draws and writes the exact file its machine runs — a stitch file, a loom card, a knit program, a print-ready TIFF, a longarm path, a cut file, a schiffli program or a stone map — so nothing is redrawn on the way to the factory.

Print

Describe a print. Get a seamless repeat, separated and sized for your printer’s RIP.

Writes RIP-ready TIFF and PDF/X-4, with spot channels and a job ticket.

Embroidery

Describe a motif or bring your artwork. Get the stitch file your embroidery machine runs.

Writes DST, PES, JEF, EXP and VP3, native to each machine.

Weave

Describe a woven design. Get the card and setup sheet your loom runs, built from real weaves.

Knit

Quilt

Pattern cut

Name a garment and a size. Get every piece drafted, graded and ready to cut.

Writes AAMA and ASTM DXF, HPGL and PLT, with grade rules.

Schiffli

Describe a lace or an all-over. Get the program your schiffli runs across every needle.

Writes Saurer, Hiraoka and Lässer programs.

Embellish

Describe an embellishment. Get every stone, sequin and bead placed for your setter or karigar.

Writes stone-setter DST and DXF, hotfix templates and karigar sheets.

How it works

The same three steps, whichever engine you choose.

Set up.

Pick the technique, your machine and your fabric or yarn. The engine knows what that machine can make.

Design.

Describe it, bring your artwork or start from a trend. Mathical 1.0 draws it in your house’s look.

Get the file.

The engine writes the file in your machine’s own format, checked against that format before it leaves.
