GeminiCAD team wants to thank all our customers, distributors and partners for the feedback and quality reports that helped us to continuously improve our products.

This solution dramatically reduces the time to digitize the patterns, offering a full automated procedure for this. The typical time to process a complete style with 10 different patterns is about 8 seconds. The system can recognize and transform into vectorial CAD data the piece contour, internal lines, notches, internal points. The acquired data can also be exported into Gerber, Lectra, Assyst and Investronica native format, as well as in standard DXF AAMA format.

Even though just one year has passed from our debut on Turkey's market, Gemini has become one of the top players in the field. Between the 23rd and the 27th of may Gemini participated at the Tuyap Clothing Machinery Exhibition 2007, presenting the whole range of software products and the new inkjet and pen plotters and digitizers. This event also sheltered the launching of the latest GeminiCAD 3D Simulator. Here you can find some pictures taken at this event

Gemini CAD launched in February 2007 the Remote Assistance Service. Each user can now request assistance from a remote Gemini office by a simple mouse click. The Gemini technician can connect directly to the customer's computer and work directly to the screen of this comptuer, solving any problem in real time.

Gemini CAD software package is prepaired now more than ever to comunicate with other systems. Conversion filters were included in the standard configuration to allow the patterns and markers import from Investronica, Lectra, Gerber and Assyst. This will help Gemini users to receive patterns, styles and markers directly from their partners who use one of the above CAD systems. This option is also very important for Investronica, Lectra, Gerber and Assyst users, who can now use the automatic marking module Gemini Nest Expert, which is perfectly compatible with all these applications.

Gemini CAD Systems attended the Bucharest 2007 BITME exhibition, between the 14th and the 17th of March. We presented the whole range GeminiCAD software products, pen and ink jet plotters, digitizing tables. This event also hosted the launch of GeminiCAD 3D Simulator. Also, our partners from Orox were there, presenting their automatic cutting machines. During the entire fair the exhibited equipments had discounted prices. Here you can find a few pictures taken at this event.

In the May 2006 edition of the prestigious magazine "Dialog Textil" there was an comprehensive article regarding textile equipments and the CAD-CAM systems market in Romania.

Starting with April 2005 the new FlexiPen 165 plotters will be available. This plotter model will complete the existing range of plotters(FlexiPen 120 and Flexijet 180). The maximum working width of this model is of 162 cm, insuring a 1:1 scale printing without band dividing the markers up to this width. Compared to the inkjet FlexiJet 160 plotter, this pen plotter has the following advantages: very low exploting costs, the only consumable being the regular pen mine; 40 % lower price; lower noise level. Regarding the printing speed, it is faster with medium-large parts markers, but slower with low parts markers, many details and a lot of text. The average plotting speed is of 40 square meters/h, approximatly 3 8-meter-long markers in an hour. More details on the FlexiPen 165 product data sheet.
