Embroidery Web API

Wilcom — Wed, 03 Nov 2021 12:00:00 +1100

Do you sell garments, embroiderable accessories, gifts or toys on your website or plan to develop an e-commerce website soon?

Then you’ll be pleased to learn about Wilcom’s embroidery automation software tool kit.

Offer personalized embroidered products from your website

Wilcom’s Embroidery Web APIThe tool kit is Wilcom’s Embroidery Web API, and it lets embroidery and apparel companies add embroidery capabilities to their websites by calling the API to do embroidery-specific tasks.

Wilcom's Quality Embroidery Lettering

One of the typical capabilities is to add Lettering to any product by using Wilcom’s professionally digitized fonts to create custom, high-quality, production-ready embroidery.

Multiple Name Drops In One Step

Customers in the uniform business who work for schools, clubs, franchise shops, security companies, local police, or the fire brigade will enjoy Wilcom’s unique Team Name feature. Any group requiring names that change frequently or even annually would benefit.

Customers simply upload the design with a list of names, and the individual embroidery designs are automatically created for each person, ready to be stitched on the embroidery machine.

Personalized Monograms

Wilcom’s Monogramming feature is a great tool to create artistic, high-quality monograms. Your customers can choose from a collection of monogram templates, add their initials, and have a production-ready monogram to stitch in seconds.

All the above features produce outstanding stitch quality, characteristic of Wilcom’s EmbroideryStudio software.

Display Realistic Embroidery Designs

Wilcom’s TrueView™ feature shows the embroidery image of any of the above designs in a realistic 3-dimensional simulation. These TrueView images are a transparent PNG file, so they display perfectly on any selected garment.

This is far more realistic for the customer and gives them a true sense of the finished item, improving the likelihood that they will proceed to place the online custom order.

Selling items with your own embroidery designs?

Your customers can personalize your own pre-configured and editable design templates on your website or application. Allow a customer to change the text, font, size, and colors while maintaining your embroidery template’s overall professional design and layout. You control the level of customizations made available.

Get creative with EmbroideryStudio e4.5

Wilcom — Thu, 30 Jan 2020 12:00:00 +1100

Get creative with the latest

EmbroideryStudio e4.5

2020 is going to be an exciting time for Wilcom’s EmbroideryStudio users as we continue to innovate our flagship embroidery and multi-decoration solution.

An update is planned for early February 2020, and was showcased at the major exhibitions around the world. Available in this latest version is EmbroideryConnect’s management console called EmbroideryHub and brand new creative stitch types to take your digitizing to the next level. These will blow you away.

Available for purchase with this latest software release is EmbroideryConnect WiFi Device.

Firstly, the Reef Photo Stitch. This is a modern take on Photo Flash, where an incredibly complex image is simplified to just a single run stitch.

However, what sets this apart is that the single run never crosses itself or repeats along the same line. The coral reef-like stitch pattern concentrates in darker areas of the image. It is extremely fast and efficient and creates a unique artistic style.

The finished design also has only a single trim, which means it’s clean, and the design is flexible and soft to the touch. This style lends itself perfectly to capture gorgeous photos of people and pets. See this incredible stitch illustrated with the dog design below.

The second new stitch type is the Maze Fill. This stitch style has been used for decades within the fashion embroidery world. Specialist trained digitizers are employed purely to create these intricate designs and are typically paid 3x the salary of a regular digitizer.

The Maze stitch fills shapes with perfect, evenly spaced lines that never overlap in just a few clicks, saving many hours of digitizing work. Now, this technique can be achieved by all digitizing teams.

The style is typically used to create flowers, paisley prints or any outlined curved shapes. It creates beautiful designs with much fewer stitches.

Specialist trained digitizers are employed to manually digitize visually even “maze-like” run stitches and are typically paid 3x the salary of a regular digitizer.

Available as an inclusion within the software is a new stitch feature called Hand Stitch Effect. This feature creates a randomised organic hand-feel effect with random spacing and random thickness.

Apply it to any stitch type.

This feature alone will create fashion-forward designs and could revitalise your digitizing.

EmbroideryStudio e4.5 includes some creative stitch types while others are available as add-on Elements

Last but not least important is the enhancement to the Advanced Sequin Element, to include the long-awaited Multi-Sequin feature. Wilcom customers have been asking for this all around the world, and it’s finally arriving in the next update. (FREE to all who already own Wilcom’s Advanced Sequin Element)... It was definitely worth the wait!
