How It Works

From One Design File to a Cutting-Ready Roll

Seven steps take a single approved design through the whole size run and out the other side as a nested, production-ready fabric roll layout.

1

Sign In to Your Licensed Workspace

Open CamiForge on your Windows workstation and sign in as an operator. Licences are device-bound and validated on sign-in, with offline receipt support so the production floor keeps working when the network drops.

2

Select and Scan Your Master Template

Choose the garment template that defines your base structure and hit scan. CamiForge reads the layer hierarchy, maps every size to its cutline, and caches that size map alongside the template — so every later run starts instantly instead of re-parsing the file.

3

Upload One Design Artwork File

Add the single .ai design file carrying your graphics, patterns, and logos. One design covers the entire size run — there is no per-size copy to duplicate or keep in sync. Recently used artworks appear as quick-pick chips.

4

Choose a CSV Roster or a Standard Size Set

For named team orders, import a CSV roster of player names, numbers, and sizes and preview the parsed rows before running. For blank runs, switch to Standard Sizes and tick the sizes CamiForge detected in your template.

5

Configure the Job

Set canvas columns per row and cluster padding, or preserve the artwork layout as authored. Choose logo-based increment scaling or original dimensions, decide whether output lands in the current document or a new one, and name the output file.

6

Generate Every Garment Variation

CamiForge drives Adobe Illustrator directly. Garment parts are detected from geometry, artwork is scaled per size, names and numbers are placed, and every variation is laid out on the canvas — with live per-variant progress, elapsed time, and a clean cancel throughout.

7

Finalize: Auto Align & Nest onto Fabric Rolls

Open the Finalize stage, set your fabric roll width and cutting margin, and choose Best Fit for the least fabric waste or Arrange by Size for sorted cut piles. CamiForge nests every pattern piece onto roll artboards, splits anything past 50 metres into additional part files, and hands you production-ready .ai output.

Two Stages

Generate, Then Finalize

CamiForge splits the work into two stages so you can review generated garments before committing them to a roll layout.

Stage 1 · Generate

Design → Every Variation

Template scanning, part detection, size scaling, name and number placement, and canvas layout. Output is a native Illustrator file containing every garment variation your order needs.

Stage 2 · Finalize

Variations → Fabric Roll

Roll width, cutting margin, and arrangement mode. CamiForge computes the packing plan, then repositions and rotates every piece in Illustrator into a cutting-ready roll layout.

What You Need to Start

Everything CamiForge needs for a first run.

A Master Template

One .ai garment template with your size layers defined. CamiForge scans it and takes it from there.

One Design File

A single .ai artwork file with your graphics, patterns, and logos.

Your Production Data

A roster CSV of names, numbers, and sizes — or just the size list for blank runs.
