Description
This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to use digital technologies for estimating garment yields for costing. It involves translating graded pattern pieces onto a cutting lay plan, to minimises fabric waste and optimise cutting accuracy. The unit of competency applies to the use of specialised electronic programs and computing equipment to digitise patterns.Work may be conducted in small to large scale enterprises and may involve individual and team activities.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
