PL / SERVICE_06 / Digital Pattern Library
Your patterns are intellectual property. Don’t leave them only on paper.
Years of knowledge can exist on one piece of paper.
Physical pattern libraries can represent years of product development.
But physical patterns can be:
- Difficult to search
- Difficult to share
- Difficult to duplicate
- Damaged
- Misplaced
- Modified without version control
- Dependent on physical storage
Digitisation creates a foundation for better pattern management.
Digitisation flow
From paper to digital file.
- PHYSICAL PATTERN
- IDENTIFICATION
- DIGITISATION
- TECHNICAL CHECK
- FILE NAMING
- DIGITAL STORAGE
- FUTURE MODIFICATION / GRADING / MARKER
From pattern room to pattern library.
Potential organisation
Why digitise?
Preserve it. Then build on it.
For manufacturers
What happens when the master leaves?
Technical knowledge should belong to the organisation, not exist only in individual memory or unstructured physical files.
A digital pattern library can help preserve development assets for future production and modification.
