CAD Software
PathWorks™ – a powerful CAD software for manufacturers, offering ease of use, increased profitability, and quick mastery of digitizing, nesting (marker making), and lay planning.
“It’s the best CAD software available, specifically designed for the cutting room. Unlike other CAD systems, PathWorks™ operates within a single window and program. It’s powerful because you can train anyone in 10 minutes and remove your dependency on skilled operators. We achieved our 10/10 goal. Teach a 10-year old in 10 minutes!”
John Hollo
Founder of Pathfinder
CAD software for manufacturers working with flat patterns
No matter what CAD package you’re currently using, you’ll enjoy the ease and simplicity of PathWorks™ – a powerful CAD utility that allows you to transfer, import or create cut files in seconds.
PathWorks™ increases your profitability through reduced lead time, greater material utilisation and removes dependency on highly skilled operators.
Within a short time, anyone can master pattern digitising, nest optimisation (marker making) and lay planning!

Digitise
PathWorks™ enables digitising of any two-dimensional shape from photographed, scanned or imported image file. The patented PhotoDigitiser™ option gives you ultimate flexibility! Receive patterns from anyone, anywhere. Digitise in PathWorks™ and go to production with fully optimised markers in minutes.
PathWorks™ patented Photo digitising option has significant advantages over traditional digitising techniques. Patterns no longer need to be restricted to a particular size or geographical location. Pattern photos can be received from around the world in digital format, digitised and nested within minutes.
Edit
PathWorks™ integrated suite of tools enables the operator to quickly and easily create and edit patterns. PathWorks™ has been designed so anyone can learn to use it in minutes. Lay planning has never been easier!
Path tools: Knife, Pen, Drills, Grain Line, Pattern Match and much more…
Editing tools: split line, close shape, circle, square, radius, fillet, add a point, delete a point, rotate to level, mirror, move, measure, curve, scale, notch, starting point, cut direction, seam allowance, pattern grid, piece linking, pattern walking, unlimited undo’s and much more…
Nesting
Optimal material utilisation can be achieved with PathWorks™ unique nesting features.
Pattern matching of complex stripes and motifs can be achieved in seconds.
Automatic Nesting (Automatic marker making) will generate the most efficient nests possible in minutes, saving time, and labour.
With PathWorks™ unique Magnetic nesting feature users can easily create new markers, edit existing markers or combine any part or combination of markers.
PathWorks™ nesting is also a great tool for fast and accurate costing, establishing the precise amount of fabric required to complete an order prior to manufacture.
