Khaite Brings Automated Pattern Digitizing In-House with NScan

​

New York-based contemporary label Khaite has equipped its pattern-making and technical design team with the NScan pattern digitizing system, bringing automated, high-precision digitizing directly into its NYC studio workflow.

​

Why Khaite Chose NScan

​

Khaite's pattern makers and technical designers now use NScan to convert physical paper patterns into accurate, ready-to-use CAD files in a fraction of the time required by manual digitizing tables. Patterns are fed through the NScan's high-resolution scanner, where the software automatically detects every line, notch, and grain line — turning a process that once took hours into one that takes minutes.

 

For a quality luxry brand that moves efficiently between design iterations and fittings, that speed translates directly into faster higher quality sample turnaround and more time for design refinement. 

​

Streamlining Communication with Overseas Factories

​

One of the biggest advantages for Khaite's team is how NScan simplifies communication with manufacturing partners overseas. Once a pattern is digitized, the resulting CAD Optitex ASTM file can be exported and sent straight to factories abroad — eliminating the delays and inaccuracies that come with shipping physical patterns or relying on manual re-creation at the factory level. Technical designers can review, adjust, and forward exact digital specs, keeping production teams across time zones aligned on fit and construction details.

​

Built for Modern Pattern Rooms

​

NScan is compatible with all major CAD/CAM systems, including Optitex, Lectra, Gerber AccuMark, and others, making it easy to slot into an existing pattern room workflow. Its accuracy — between 1/30 of and inch and 1/100 of an inch when following the best practices — means patterns arrive at the factory exactly as the design team intended, reducing costly sampling errors and revision cycles.

 

Khaite joins a growing list of fashion houses, manufacturers, and institutions — from Urban Outfitters to the COS H&M — using NScan to modernize their pattern-making process.
