ADVANCED MASTER

INDUSTRIAL DIGITALISATION OF FASHION

Specialise in digital fashion product development with GERBER AccuMark, CLO 3D, and artificial intelligence. Learn to transform patterns, virtually validate garments, and prepare them for production with an integrated workflow.

Request information

Introduction

The Advanced Master’s in Industrial Digitalisation of Fashion at ESDI prepares you to develop garments using a digital process that connects pattern making, simulation, and production. You will learn to convert physical patterns into digital files, transform models, scale sizes, and check the fit in a virtual environment. You will work with GERBER AccuMark and CLO 3D to link design decisions with the technical requirements of each product and prepare the necessary technical information for its manufacture.

Through a hands-on methodology, you’ll progress from the initial pattern to the 3D prototype and the technical production dossier. Each module will provide exercises and results for your portfolio, as you incorporate materials, textures, colors, and finishes into garment development. Artificial intelligence is integrated to support exploration, analysis, and documentation, complementing your professional judgment in decision-making. The program culminates in the complete digitisation of a fashion design.

Curriculum

The eight modules follow the development of a garment: digitising the pattern, transforming it, preparing it for production, and validating its behaviour in 3D. AI is incorporated as a cross-cutting support tool, and the final project brings the entire process together in a comprehensive proposal.

Methodology

The programme is based on learning through practice. It combines technical demonstrations, guided exercises, independent work, and case studies to connect each tool to product development decisions.

The work is structured progressively around a product model or family. Each module generates a practical deliverable that allows you to document your skills and build your portfolio. Throughout the process, you will learn to review and validate the results of digital and AI tools using technical and professional criteria.
