CLO
CLO is 3D fashion design software for creating, fitting, simulating, rendering, and reviewing virtual garments.
CLO lets fashion designers create 2D patterns, place them on avatars, simulate fabric behavior, adjust fit, and produce 3D garment visuals. It supports pattern development, grading, material and trim editing, rendering, animation, nesting, and tech-pack workflows.
It is used by apparel designers, product-development teams, freelancers, students, and academic institutions. CLO is desktop software rather than a general-purpose AI assistant; AI Studio features require activation, and Enterprise and Academic plans require contact with CLO.
Features
- Create and edit 2D patterns with pattern information and revision history
- Simulate garments with fabric, trim, soft-body, and GPU simulation
- Review grading sizes and graphic placement in a single window
- Generate patterns by sketching directly on an avatar
- Render garments, animations, technical drawings, and selected grading sizes
- Nest patterns using production shrinkage and directional buffer spacing
- Use AI Texture Generator, AI Graphic Generator, AI Render, and AI Image Generator
- Export garment, camera, UV, and material data through supported formats and APIs
Use cases
- Draft and revise apparel patterns before making physical samples
- Check fit, drape, trims, graphics, and colorways on digital avatars
- Prepare graded patterns and nesting layouts for production
- Create garment renders and animations for presentations or e-commerce
- Review material and trim costs in bills of materials and tech packs
- Teach digital garment development in fashion programs
