Lectra, a product lifecycle management and cutting machinery company announced its next phase of holistic services with its Modaris 3-D technology. Partnering with prêt-à-porter brand Cache Cache, Modaris 3-D promotes cohesive communication among subcontractors and interactive product development.

Supply chains are stressed under the weight of the hurtling pace of demands, heightening the need for software and manufacturing that’s capable for product development and design teams to visualize items as accurately as possible.
