CONT

Pattern data is generated and converted to digital form by using one of Gerber Camsco's pattern grading and marker making systems. These microprocessor-based systems improve accuracy and throughput over conventional marker making techniques. Pattern pieces are digitized, stored and nested to form the most space-efficient marker possible. Grading modifications and style changes can be incorporated effortlessly. The nesting is performed at a terminal that displays the entire marker on the screen.
