Today, Fashion and Textile industries are relying heavily on CAD in terms of the design and manufacture of the product and in the merchandising and marketing of that product.
In order to be prepared for the work force in the fashion and textile industries, students must have some familiarity with the CAD process.
Lindenwood University will proudly announce that Lectra systems have donated 3 million dollars worth of fashion and textile CAD software to the fashion design program.
This will open a new door for the Lindenwood fashion design students in the corporate world. Students will have an opportunity to get trained in patternmaking skills through the industry-approved software, Modaris.

Refinements and extensions of the technologies are constantly happening at all levels of design and production in the fashion industry.
Attributable to this are the new job positions being created throughout the fashion industry. A perfect example is the position of a textile designer.
A textile designer will use a textile design system to create the fabrics for the group or the line.

Lectra system has also donated U-4ia, a top level CAD system for textile design. Our students at Lindenwood will have an opportunity to learn how to create prints, patterns and woven textile fabric through this U-4ia system.
We currently have faculty members with several years of textile and fashion design experience through the fashion industry, this system will enable them to prepare students to work at the corporate level.
The fashion design department is delighted to announce that Lindenwood is the only University in the state currently implementing this top-of the line CAD program into their curriculum. with the privilege to have this industry approved CAD software. This is a great opportunity for the fashion design students to receive the most up-to date CAD experience. This addition to the fashion program will allow
Fashion design students to have more job opportunities Nationwide
