Start a design in the Damask CAD Studio
A free Dusrawork account includes monthly usage credits — design, simulate and export without a subscription. The studio handles the hardest part — separating artwork into per-colour layers and binding each to a legal satin/sateen structure — while you keep creative control over the ground/figure relationship and repeats.
What the studio does
- Artwork upload with automatic colour indexing and editable palette (2–8 colour regions)
- Satin/sateen structure assignment per colour layer with adjustable float limits
- Repeat layout controls: block, brick and half-drop with configurable factors
- Ground and figure structure library with per-layer floats audit
- 3D simulation render with yarn physical parameters (thickness, slub, lustre) per system
- Export package ready for electronic jacquard weaving
The workflow, end to end
- Upload artwork and set the number of colour regions; refine the indexed palette.
- Assign satin and sateen structures to each colour layer and check the float audit.
- Set repeats, preview the 3D drape simulation, and export the weaving package.
Frequently asked questions
How many colours can a damask design have?
The studio supports multi-colour damask layouts — you choose the number of indexed regions when uploading, and each region is mapped to its own interlacement structure.
Will the back of the fabric show the pattern in reverse?
Yes — that is the defining property of damask. The 3D preview renders both faces so you can verify the reversal before exporting.
Can small studios use this without a CAD team?
That is exactly who it is built for. The conversion math that traditionally needs a specialist is automated, and results are exportable as industry-standard weave packages.
