About
Gerber AccuMark is a professional-grade 2D/3D patternmaking, grading, and marker-making platform purpose-built for the fashion and apparel industry. Developed by Gerber Technology and now part of the Lectra group, AccuMark empowers designers, pattern makers, and manufacturers to replace manual drafting with precise digital tools, accelerating product development while improving quality and fit consistency. At its core, AccuMark provides comprehensive 2D patternmaking capabilities alongside integrated 3D visualization, enabling teams to create, modify, and refine patterns digitally before committing to physical samples. Its advanced grading engine allows users to efficiently size patterns across multiple size ranges while preserving design intent and fit quality. Intelligent marker-making tools further reduce material waste and optimize fabric utilization for production. AccuMark connects seamlessly within the broader Lectra ecosystem—integrating with Modaris for advanced pattern creation, Gerber Yunique PLM for virtual team collaboration, and Kubix Link for end-to-end product lifecycle management. This interoperability makes it an ideal foundation for brands and manufacturers building a fully digitized, Industry 4.0-ready fashion workflow. Suited for fashion brands, apparel manufacturers, and pattern studios of all sizes—from fast fashion to luxury, sportswear, and technical textiles—AccuMark helps teams reduce physical sample costs, accelerate time-to-market, and maintain competitive quality standards in an increasingly digital industry.
