SCAD to use Lectra Romans Cad
Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) is to use Romans Cad, a dedicated footwear and accessory 2D and 3D design solution suite from Lectra.
SCAD will be the first school in North America to implement the system. It offers a choice of degree programmes in 42 art and design majors including Bachelor of Fine Arts, Master of Arts and Master of Fine Arts degrees.
Romans Cad 2D is a pattern-making solution for developing and refining footwear patterns. It offers standard libraries and macro functions to automate pattern-making operations.
Romans Cad Software 3D Design enables users to design and modify styles on 3D lasts and immediately check the result in 2D. Decoration, stitching, welts, buckles and laces can also be integrated in 3D.
"In today's economy, it is more important than ever for our students to learn and use cutting-edge technologies that are reliable, cost-efficient and allow for creativity," says Anthony Miller, department chair of Fashion and Accessory Design at SCAD. "We are thrilled to be the first US university installation of Romans Cad enabling our students to design and create shoes with easy-to-use, powerful and effective technology."
