Our verdict on GRAFIS CAD Apparel
GRAFIS CAD Apparel is desktop CAD software for apparel and technical-textile pattern construction. It is aimed at clothing creatives, technologists, industry, and trade users that need parametric and interactive style development rather than a general-purpose design workspace. Core capabilities include 2D pattern construction, automatic grading from measurement charts, grade-rule grading for imported or digitized patterns, automatic dependencies between pattern pieces, and integrated marker making. It also supports contactless measurement and pattern digitizing through ProfileFitPattern.
Pricing is organized around Basic and premium licenses, with either three-month or annual terms. The GRAFIS CAD Basic short-term license costs €400 per three months, while the annual license costs €1,160 per year; both include GRAFIS CAD, GRAFIS marker, and support per email. The GRAFIS CAD premium short-term license costs €600 per three months, and the premium annual license costs €1,740 per year. Premium adds priority support per email and all GRAFIS add-ons required by the customer. A restricted free training version is available for personal training or testing, but it is time-limited under its license terms rather than a perpetual free plan.
The strongest fit is a Windows-based pattern development team that values parametric construction, grading, dependencies, and marker making in one desktop system. Import and export interfaces support CAD data exchange across AAMA/DXF, ASTM/DXF, Gerber AccuMark, Gerber ixchange (.TMP), HPGL, ISO, and DXF, while integrations with Gerber AccuMark and Browzwear VStitcher extend ecosystem compatibility. The GRAFIS VStitcher plugin adds three-dimensional garment visualization and simulation. Teams needing macOS coverage, a lower-cost entry point, or a broader platform choice should look elsewhere; teams centered on structured pattern engineering can justify the more specialized licensing.
