AI Design Generation
Generate garment concepts from text descriptions. No separate design tool needed — concept creation is built into the workflow.
Fashion PLM
Fashion PLM without the enterprise price tag
AI-powered design and specification tools that cover the most critical PLM functions — garment design, tech pack creation, and production documentation. Start free, scale as you grow.
Features
PLM capabilities powered by AI
Automated Tech Packs
Complete tech packs generated from your design — BOM, measurements, grading, construction notes, colorways, labels.
Specification Management
Edit any specification through chat. Changes propagate across the tech pack — materials, measurements, and construction stay in sync.
Version Control
Every design iteration is tracked. Compare versions, revert changes, and maintain a history of your product development.
Factory-Ready Export
Export professional PDFs formatted for manufacturer communication. Standard tech pack format that factories understand.
No Implementation
Browser-based, no installation, no onboarding period. Start creating tech packs immediately — no IT department required.

Frequently asked questions
What is fashion PLM software?+
Fashion PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) software manages the entire lifecycle of a garment — from concept and design through specification, sourcing, sampling, and production. Enterprise PLM systems like Centric, Bamboo Rose, and Lectra centralize product data, tech packs, materials libraries, and vendor communication.
Do small brands need PLM software?+
Small brands rarely need full enterprise PLM systems, which are designed for teams managing hundreds of styles across multiple seasons. For brands with 5-50 styles, AI tools like Skema3D cover the most critical need — generating tech packs and production specs — without PLM complexity or cost.
How is Skema3D different from traditional PLM?+
Skema3D focuses on the design-to-specification phase: AI generates garment concepts, flat sketches, and complete tech packs from text descriptions. Traditional PLM manages the full lifecycle including sourcing, costing, vendor management, and production tracking. Skema3D replaces the design and documentation modules at a fraction of the cost.
What does fashion PLM software cost?+
Enterprise fashion PLM software costs $500-5,000+ per user per month, with implementation fees of $50,000-500,000. Mid-market options run $100-500/month. Skema3D offers AI-powered design and tech pack generation starting from a free tier — covering the highest-value PLM functions without enterprise pricing.
