Release Notes
1. Unique and fully automated grading solution
Enjoy the first fully automated grading solution launched on the market!
Easy Grading embeds grading methods in a “mask”. A mask is a group of regions that you apply
on your pattern to grade it.
Easy Grading’s principle and patented concept is to dissociate measurement tables (values) and
masks (grading rules). As a result, you can load any measurement charts, apply the same mask
and your garment is graded.
Direct application:
Î With 1 mask for trousers, you grade most trousers
Î With 1 mask, you load any measurement tables and grade your pattern
Advanced application:
Î Create your own mask and share grading knowledge
Easy Grading benefits
• Save up to 70% on grading activity
• Capitalize on grading knowledge
• Ensure product quality and fit
• Face growing and diverse demand of grading
• Get more precise costing information
