Perfection

4.0 6 years ago

Pros:

Its easy to use and has lot of functions, it has helped up save time. the accuracy is fantastic, you will need a bit of training

Cons:

the major issue i face is it crashes sometimes, if you haven't saved the file you tend to rework on it again. It doesn't support MAC, if you a mac user you might want to look for another alternative

Easy to learn, very user friendly, and it really does the job!

5.0 8 years ago

Comments: Well, with the Smart Mark function, it's like having your own assistant next to you, things are going a lot faster. Love it!

Pros:

It's patterns design has a lot of good functions, that makes it a lot easier to use than Gerber. Grading is also a cinch, compared with Gerber's. Overall, very smooth, and convenient. Like the fact that you can tilt, or rotate the patterns without ever have to change the grain line!

I am a freelancer and Tukatech has been a great help with ease of use and affordability.

5.0 7 years ago

Comments: Ease of installation. Ease of use. By renting I can work from home.

Pros:

The system is easy to navigate. The Tools all perform as they should. The Help menu and demos are very useful.

Cons:

I would like to be able to move Graded points individually(other than just the Base size) when I grade, instead of always using the Grading Menu.

Pros:

That you can customize the size, color, tool bars. Very user friendly. Easy too use. Love that you can only enter proto# once and it gets applies to all pattern pieces. the Global features.

There has been a few instances I could not delete a point. even switching the sew/cut line deleting it and it would just reappear.

TUKAcad has made our design team flourish and has streamlined our business model.

5.0 8 years ago

Comments: The ability to streamline the design process from paper design to actual garment.

Pros:

The ease and ability of intuitiveness. If you can come up with an idea you can create it. We have built several new styles and patterns in days and have been able to sew a sample same day. It has streamlined the design process immensely.

Cons:

Not able to use on a Mac computer. We use Macs in the office solely so we had to purchase a new computer to implement the system. The switch from mac to windows has been tough.

Pretty easy to learn

5.0 6 years ago

Pros:

I like working with the point-based system for making patterns. The program is pretty straightforward to navigate. Some features will require some extra research. For more complicated patterns I'm still more comfortable making them by hand and then digitizing them.

Cons:

It's so expensive. Their training class is also so expensive.
