5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a clothing CAD technician already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Clothing CAD technicians use software to create design plans for clothing products. They work in 2D design which is known as surface modelling, or 3D design which is called solid modelling. They use surface modelling to draw a flat representation of the clothing product. In solid modelling, they create a 3D display of a structure or component in order to take a virtual look of the clothing product.
