Efficient Production

Digitize Your Patterns with Speed and Accuracy

The Velocity V-Shoot is a camera digitizing system designed to convert physical patterns into precise digital files compatible with leading CAD software. Ideal for apparel, furniture and upholstery, automotive interiors, footwear, and technical textiles, V-Shoot helps manufacturers digitize physical patterns quickly while preserving their original dimensions and geometry.

By combining a precision magnetic digitizing board, camera-based capture, and automatic pattern vectorization, V-Shoot streamlines the process of converting physical patterns into editable digital files for design, production, and archiving.

Protect More Than Paper

Every physical pattern represents hours of development, fittings, adjustments, and production knowledge. Losing a pattern can mean losing valuable design history, time, and money.

With V-Shoot, physical patterns can be converted into secure digital assets that can be stored, organized, edited, and accessed whenever production requires them.

Protect Years of Work

Safeguard valuable patterns by creating digital copies that can be stored and backed up, helping protect your pattern library from physical damage, loss, or everyday wear.

Organize Every Style

Build a searchable digital pattern library that keeps styles, components, and production patterns organized and available when needed.

Digitize with Precision

Capture physical patterns accurately while preserving their original dimensions and geometry for use in digital design and production workflows.

Seamless CAD/CAM Integration

V-Shoot supports industry-standard formats like .DXF, AAMA DXF and .PLT, enabling effortless integration with your existing design and production systems.

Compatible with top software platforms including: Gerber, Lectra, Optitex, Audaces, Assyst, Gemini, Tukatech, AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Adobe Illustrator, CorelDraw, and many more used across fashion, footwear, upholstery, and technical industries.

Key V-Shoot Features

The V-Shoot stands out by combining advanced imaging technology, robust file compatibility, and practical features in a compact, easy-to-use design. Here’s what makes it exceptional:

Calibration-Free Technology

V-Shoot uses the reference circles printed on the digitizing board to automatically correct for camera distance, angle, lighting, and optical distortion. No ongoing manual calibration is required, helping maintain consistent digitizing accuracy over time.

Automatic Pattern Digitization

Place the physical pattern on the board, capture the image, and let V-Shoot automatically vectorize the pattern. The system can convert physical patterns into editable digital files in seconds, reducing manual point-by-point digitizing.

High-Precision Pattern Capture

V-Shoot preserves the original dimensions and geometry of physical patterns during digitization. Standard boards under 79 inches can achieve accuracy within 0.039″, while the 35″ × 24″ high-precision board provides accuracy of less than 0.039″.

Fractional Digitizing for Oversized Patterns

V-Shoot can digitize patterns larger than the available capture area using fractional digitizing technology. This allows oversized patterns to be captured in sections and combined into a complete digital pattern.

Flexible Camera Options

V-Shoot can work with different capture configurations, including supported DSLR cameras and iPhone devices. This gives manufacturers flexibility to use existing camera equipment or select a configuration based on their workspace and workflow.

Magnetic Digitizing Board

The V-Shoot board uses magnetic fixation to hold physical patterns securely during capture, eliminating the need for tape and helping operators position pieces quickly and consistently.

Seamless CAD/CAM Integration

V-Shoot exports digitized patterns in industry-standard formats including DXF, AAMA DXF and HPGL, allowing patterns to move directly into existing CAD, design, and production workflows.

Compatible software includes: Gerber, Lectra, Optitex, Audaces, Assyst, Gemini, TukaTech, AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Adobe Illustrator, CorelDraw, and Vetigraph.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a V-Shoot system include?

The essential components of the V-Shoot system are the software and the V-Shoot board. The camera is an optional accessory, as some clients may prefer using their own devices for photo capture. If the camera needs to be mounted above the board for automatic photo capture, a “tethering” feature is required, which is commonly supported by most DSLR cameras.

Can V-Shoot be used without the board?

The V-Shoot system can only function without its original board when photos are obtained through a scanner. In this case, V-Shoot software reads the image parameters to calculate the pattern measurements accurately. However, when using a camera or mobile phone to capture images, the V-Shoot board is essential to achieving optimal precision. Our boards are specially designed with precisely printed white circles along the edges, which are utilized by the software to correct optical distortions and ensure accurate pattern dimensions in full scale.

What accuracy can I expect?

For V-Shoot boards under 79 inches in size, the accuracy is within 0.039″. With XL boards, the accuracy is within 0.079″. For sub-millimeter accuracy, our 35″ × 24″ board provides exceptional precision. Alternatively, if you use a scanner to acquire images, V-Shoot ensures high precision (<0.020″) for smaller patterns.

Is V-Shoot compatible with my existing CAD programs and CNC machines?

Yes, V-Shoot supports configurable file formats like DXF, AAMA DXF and HPGL, making it easy to import your digitized patterns directly into your existing CAD software and CNC machines. You can adjust the layer structure and eliminate unnecessary pattern components as required.

Can I run V-Shoot on macOS?

Yes, you can run V-Shoot on macOS, but it requires a Windows virtual machine (VM) for compatibility.

Is the V-Shoot system calibration-free?

V-Shoot automatically calibrates your system using the printed circles on the board, adjusting for environmental factors such as distance, angle, lighting, and blur. This results in consistently accurate measurements at a 1:1 scale. No pre-installation calibration is necessary, allowing for easy setup and relocation. Additionally, since each image is calibrated in the background, the camera does not need to remain fixed in relation to the board, enabling the option to use a hand-held camera.

How does the V-Shoot camera system work?

Place the pattern on the magnetic board.
The camera captures a high-resolution image.
V-Shoot software automatically vectorizes the pattern and exports it in DXF, AAMA DXF, or PLT formats, which are compatible with leading CAD software.

What advantages does V-Shoot offer over traditional digitizing methods?

Speed: Automatic image capture and vectorization in seconds.
No ongoing calibration: One-time setup during installation.
File versatility: Export files in DXF, AAMA DXF, and PLT formats.
Accuracy: Minimizes manual errors during production.

What types of materials and patterns can be digitized?

V-Shoot can digitize patterns of any size, material, or color. Whether you’re working with paper, cardboard, textiles, or technical fabrics, V-Shoot accommodates them all. The magnetic board ensures quick and secure fixation without the need for tape, making it ideal for all types of design work.

What makes V-Shoot easy to use?

Magnetic board with quick-grip buttons for easy and secure placement.
Automatic vectorization: No need for manual marking of points.
Direct export of edit-ready files for CAD adjustments, including notches, perforations, or mirrored shapes.

Is V-Shoot compatible with other design and cutting systems?

Yes, V-Shoot is fully compatible with all major CAD systems used across industries such as fashion, furniture, automotive, and industrial design. The exported, DXF, AAMA DXF and PLT files can be seamlessly integrated into your existing workflow with no additional setup required.

What warranty is offered for the V-Shoot Pattern Digitizing Camera?

The V-Shoot digitizing system includes:

1-year parts warranty, covering the full replacement of defective hardware.
3 months of remote technical support, available through video conferencing, phone calls, or remote desktop connection for expert assistance.
