For more than three years, Brunet dentelles has worked on digital technology and its potential uses concerning the design in lace industry. Brunet's customers, thanks to specific software, can see, on a virtual manikin, a three-dimension projection of their designed product.

This project should improve the relationship between Brunet and its interlocutors bringing them closer to each other, especially concerning customized lace product design and development. It's a two steps process than can be explained as the following:

Step one: A flat lace in three dimensions.

Objective: Between a design drawn on a piece of paper and a bra on a shelf, there are a lot of differences. Therefore, this first step highlights the notions of thickness, contrast, volume, raw materials, yarns and colour rendering of the lace.

Step two: Bring it to life.
Once the model has been made, we can adapt it on a "virtual collection" with different bras (different size, different shape, push-up.).

Objective: We want to give our customers as much information as possible : for instance, we could check the motifs and patterns positioning on different size and shape of bras. We could step forward in the process while waiting swatches and samples as well. Another key element is that we use the benefits of "virtual technology" to reduce the cost of making too many prototypes. All this represents a gain in time and efficiency while reducing our customers' development costs.
