Gerber Technology, world leaders in integrated software and automated solutions for the apparel and industrial markets, announced that Rich Colburn, Simulation Engineer, Gerber Technology, gave a talk at the Blender Conference 2016 held on 28th October in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
Blender is a suite of free, open-source 3D content creation software created by a global network of professional and amateur users and supported by Blender Foundation, a Dutch non-profit organization. The software is also the rendering engine behind Gerber’s AccuMark® 3D technology.
A veteran Blender Conference presenter, last year, Rich discussed how his work at Gerber was leveraging Blender to create virtual cloth, a key to transforming the design process. “One of the most amazing things about Blender is its versatility,” says Rich. “This software has uses in just about every industry imaginable. Gerber is using Blender to create tools that accelerate and improve the clothing development process for both traditional and 3D printed clothing. With 3D, designers can create and adjust virtual sample garments and use animated characters to model them, saving vast amounts of time and costly materials.”

Rich’s discussion, titled – ‘Blender as a Garment Design Tool’, highlighted the ways Blender can be utilized by the fashion industry. His presentation provided an in-depth look at Gerber’s latest innovations in 3D and the company’s work with Danit Peleg, Fashion Designer, who used AccuMark 3D powered by Blender to support visualization, animation and simulation in the creation of a five-piece line of 3D printed garments. Danit recently partnered with Gerber to help the company develop and evolve its YuniquePLM® and AccuMark line of products in their efforts to make it easy for anyone in the world to design, produce and sell great products and get from concept to market quickly and seamlessly.
Held annually in Amsterdam, the three-day Blender Conference draws hundreds of visitors from a wide variety of industries, including fashion, automobile design, animation, sports, gaming and more.
