Modern technology enables designers and garment factories to effortlessly convert 2D designs into 3D avatars and vice versa. This Panel will explore the critical role of 3D technology in product development, focusing on its application in simulating the design, fit, and appearance of garments and its efficiency in pattern making and marker optimization before the production of physical prototypes. We will discuss the integration of 3D technologies in factory operations in Bangladesh and their impact on the operations of retail brands.
