What Our Students Say

★★★★★

The Lectra Modaris pattern making module is incredibly detailed — I could create a complete shirt pattern within 2 weeks of starting. The AI fashion tools module with Midjourney has completely changed how I present concepts to buyers. Got placed at an export house in Tirupur earning 3x my previous salary!

★★★★★

The CLO 3D module was extraordinary — seeing your pattern come alive as a 3D garment on a virtual avatar is incredible. My CLO 3D lookbook portfolio helped me get placed at a Delhi fashion brand as a 3D Virtual Stylist. A role that didn't exist a few years ago. Fulcrum Tech is truly future-focused!

★★★★★

The Gerber AccuMark grading and marker planning module is exactly what every garment factory needs. I can now create a full size run from XS to 3XL and optimise marker efficiency to 88%+ — significant fabric cost savings. The tech pack module in Illustrator helped me communicate directly with overseas buyers!

Preethi A

★★★★★

As a traditional tailor, I was hesitant about CAD software but the trainers made Lectra very approachable. Now creating full shirt patterns in 2 hours instead of 2 days! The Cala AI and Midjourney modules helped me launch my own freelance fashion service — earning ₹75,000/month from online clients!

★★★★★

The best fashion CAD course in Tamil Nadu without doubt. The AI fashion tools module is something no other institute teaches. I now generate 20+ design concepts per day using Midjourney and Firefly. My placement at a Chennai fashion startup came with a 55% salary increment. Absolutely outstanding training!

The Optitex 3D simulation showed me exactly where my patterns had fit issues — without wasting a single meter of fabric. The trainer's attention to detail is unmatched. The capsule collection capstone gave me a complete professional portfolio that impressed every interviewer. Highly recommended!
