CAD can be used in many ways when designing not only the garment itself, but then also the surface decoration and patterns.
A popular way, used in both schools and industry is to design a pattern on the computer, using programmes such as speedstep, and to then sublimation print onto your material.
This is a cost effective and fun way to create patterened materials in schools, by using technology to create an individual pattern that they can put their own creativity into, and then be printed onto a cheap and mass bought material.

The designed can then be opened on ProPaint, to decide on colours and patterns.
Using Speedstep would attract a different range of students that possibly find drawing and designing from scratch an uninjoyable and difficult task. They are able to be creative, without the pressue of having their drawing skills assesed.
