Describe it.Get the pattern.
Merco Studio turns a description or a photo into a tech pack, a pattern graded in every size, and a 3D sample on a body of your size. Free to start, in your browser.
Studio: From a conversation to a tech pack.
Say what you want to make, in a sentence or with a photo. Studio fills the sheet a factory quotes from, and asks for what is still missing.
The numbers: Numbers measured off a real pattern.
Every size is drafted on a pattern block to your chart and measured back off the pieces, never written down by a model. Each cell shows what the pattern reads and how far it is from your number.
The pattern: Pieces a cutting room can use.
Every piece in every size, with seam allowance, grain and notches, as the DXF pattern systems read. The flats are drawn on the same pattern.
Made: Sent to factories that can make it.
When a style is ready, it goes to Merco factories that hold the machines it needs, with the tech pack and the 3D sample.
The 3D sample
Sewn from the pieces, not modelled.
The 3D sample is the pattern itself, sewn along its seams and draped on a body of the size you pick. Switch sizes and colourways, see where the fabric pulls, print your logo where the tech pack puts it, and render a product photo or a turntable. It runs on your own computer, so it costs nothing.
Files a factory opens
Made for the cutting room, not a mood board.
Studio writes the files factory pattern makers and designers already work in. Send them anywhere, or send the style to a Merco factory from Studio.
- 01DXF-AAMAEvery size, with seam allowance, notches, grain and drill holes on their layers: the format pattern systems exchange.
- 02IllustratorFlats as layered SVG at true size and PDF at a stated scale, with the measurement callouts.
- 03Tech packThe whole sheet as the PDF a factory quotes from: materials, measurements by size, construction, artwork.
- 043D sampleA share link that opens on any phone, and an AR file for an iPhone. The factory sees it on the request.
Credits
Only the AI costs credits.
