Dobby
Dobby weave software helps you to create and modify any kind of dobby cloth, at all stages : from design to on-loom production.
One of the strong points of Pointcarre is the colour management : We guarantee the colors you use to be the same throughout the creation and development process.
In a weave design, you can define colorways for the warp and the weft and edit the weave blanket.
This handy tool makes it quick and easy to create multiple weaves and double weave fabrics.
The warp yarn layout can be drawn directly on the cloth, or coming from a weave formula : quickly create plaids and stripes. The Dobby software allows you to check for warp and weft floats. Make corrections directly on the cloth diagram.
The software comes with a library of 4000 weave structures that you can customize with your own weaves. Weaves can be used as new pegplans just by dragging and dropping them onto the peg-plan diagram. The software also comes with a yarn library and the Pantone® Textile Library color picker. You can reference the colours of your yarns and use them directly in your designs.
It is easy to create simulations using any kind of yarn (boucle, chenille, slub, twisted…). Irregular densities are taken into account when simulating. The quality of the Pointcarre weave simulation is recognized by major textile manufacturers and converters. Simulations can reduce sampling costs.
At the end of your work, just generate a complete technical sheet of the cloth, that can be customized to your needs. It can also be exported to fit into your production sheet program.
The Pointcarre software interfaces with all dobby looms (Staübli, Dornier, Somet, Sulzer, Picanol, CDL and Pignone), the Staübli electronic punchers, the drawing-in machines (Vega, Staübli Delta 200, Reed Chat-wood) and the Benninger warping machine.Pointcarre also directly controls or transfers data to the following looms: ARM, Texel, AVL. We develop other interfaces upon your request.
