A New World of Technological Innovation
It was during the very first Lectra World 2007 that Lectra unveiled the result of these last five years of R&D, representing a total investment of 80 million euros. A technological milestone surpassing those of Lectra's previous major international conferences in 1993 and 1996.
Lectra World 2007 kicked off with the new Vector generation, where power and intelligence join forces, with Modaris 3D Fit, a huge step forward in 3D virtual prototyping, with Kaledo, which puts creation at the heart of the fashion designer's profession, and with Lectra Fashion PLM, a major advancement in collections management. Lectra World 2007 also shows how a company gains a competitive edge by integrating communicative and collaborative solutions throughout the product lifecycle.
