Drafting a clothing pattern is technical geometry: construction lines, darts, ease, seam allowances. Bobloc compresses all of it into sliders and prompts. Describe a garment or move a measurement, and the whole pattern redrafts itself in real time, with every dependent rule recalculated for you.

Under the hood is a full geometric drafting engine: measurements, design variables and drafting rules linked in a dependency graph, rendered live as vector geometry ready for cutting.

It is the step that stops talented designers from bringing their visions to life. Professional pattern software costs thousands and is built for experts. The manual craft takes years to learn. Every size variation or custom fit means starting again. Small brands cannot compete without technical expertise they cannot afford.

Bobloc combines AI with traditional drafting knowledge to make pattern-making accessible, starting with designers and small brands without pattern-making expertise.

The whole system runs on a small set of sliders, which is exactly what a model can fill in. Give it a clothing image or a written brief and it sets the sliders for you, so a production-ready draft comes out of a photo. Every value stays editable by hand afterwards.

The same mechanism reads body measurements from images, which opens the long-term play: bespoke, made-to-measure production direct to consumer.

Bobloc grew out of Cadcut, a manufacturing pipeline built in 2022 with luxury label Chez Vidalenc in Paris: parametric patterns generated from body scans, laser-cut and printed with UV-setting dyes in one automated process. The drafting engine that powers the demo above is the third generation of that work.
