Pitch Grader: pattern grading without scaling everything
A Japanese-language apparel tool that aims to turn a base-size DXF and specification-sheet increments into a full size run.
- For
- Apparel patternmakers managing multi-size patterns
- Worth noticing
- It allows separate increments by size and lets pockets stay fixed or grow by only a few millimeters.
Field notes
The described workflow starts with an Excel specification sheet and a base-size DXF, then produces a graded size run plus a grading table and check sheet. Patternmakers can set different increments by size and decide which pieces stay fixed or shift only a few millimeters; the page also describes importing an already graded in-house pattern to capture company-specific habits. Its privacy statement says calculation stays on the user's computer, but the extract shows an application-by-request testing phase rather than a public demo.
