NedGraphics Texcelle is a specialized CAD solution designed for the intricate requirements of Jacquard, carpet, and tufted textile design. This paper explores how Texcelle integrates creative freedom with technical manufacturing constraints to streamline the design-to-production pipeline. By utilizing over 150 dedicated design tools, the software allows for precise pattern manipulation while ensuring all designs remain production-ready. 1. Introduction
The designer scans a hand-painted sketch or imports a vector file (AI, PDF, or high-res TIFF) into Texcelle. Nedgraphics Texcelle Program
By embracing innovation and staying ahead of the curve, Nedgraphics Texcelle Program will continue to empower textile professionals to create, design, and manufacture with precision, efficiency, and creativity. NedGraphics Texcelle is a specialized CAD solution designed
One of the most time-consuming tasks in textile design is reducing a full-color illustration (millions of colors) to a manageable number of yarn colors (typically 4 to 12). Texcelle’s proprietary algorithms do this without losing texture or depth. It allows designers to: One of the most time-consuming tasks in textile
