AccuMark Gerber v14 is the fourteenth major iteration of Gerber Technology’s flagship 2D/3D CAD software suite (now part of the Lectra group). It is designed to digitize the entire lifecycle of a garment—from initial sketch to cutting room floor. accumark gerber v14

Unlike previous versions that focused exclusively on 2D pattern manipulation, v14 acts as a bridge between traditional CAD and modern 3D prototyping. It allows designers to create patterns, grade sizes, input markers, and visualize garments in a virtual environment before a single piece of fabric is cut. | Feature | AccuMark V14 | CLO 3D

Finally, you output to a Gerber plotter (for paper patterns) or directly to a Gerber cutter (Z1 or DCS 2600). V14 includes automatic "Cut Path" optimization to reduce knife lift time by 15%. AccuMark Gerber v14 is the fourteenth major iteration

This is where v14 saves money. You input fabric width, pattern repeats, and defect zones. The software runs "True Shape" nesting, which ignores the invisible bounding box around a pattern piece to snug pieces together like a puzzle. Tip: Use the "Pairing" function to force mirror images of left/right sleeves to nest together.
