Key Takeaway
- CLO-SET Web Tech Pack generates a tech pack from supported 3D Style Content. When a new Content Version is uploaded, users can choose whether to update the pack.
- Uploading a supported
.zprjor.zpacfile imports its POM data into WTP-Measurement.- Teams can populate BOM data from supported CLO files and combine BOM-related material costs with entered expenses in Cost Estimation.
Revising a 3D garment after a fitting session often means updating separate specification documents. When pattern dimensions or trims change, teams may need to carry those changes into the spec. CLO-SET Web Tech Pack (WTP) can populate BOM and POM data from supported CLO files. When uploading a new Content Version for supported .zprj or .zpac Style Content, users choose whether to update the pack.
POM and Spec Update Steps
- Upload a
.zprjor.zpacfile to import its POM data into WTP-Measurement. - Manage measurement details in WTP by entering the relevant points of measure and target values.
- Choose whether to update the tech pack when uploading a new Content Version for supported
.zprjor.zpacStyle Content. - Export POM information using POM CSV Export, which reflects your selected columns, column order, and measurement units.
Controlled Version Updates
Design files go through rapid iterations before a style is ready for vendor costing or factory sampling. During development, teams track which 3D file revisions apply to the active specification sheet. Because updating WTP upon a new Content Version upload is a user-selected choice for supported .zprj and .zpac Style Content, you decide which revision becomes part of the documented spec.
When you choose to update upon uploading a new Content Version for supported .zprj or .zpac Style Content, the auto-generated pack includes dedicated sections:
- Overview
- BOM
- Construction
- Measurement (POM)
- Cost Estimation
Inside the BOM section, information can be generated from the fabrics, trims, and other material data included in .zprj and .zpac files. Cost Estimation combines BOM-related material costs with additional entered expenses such as labor and transportation. For styles that span multiple colorways or size runs, WTP also supports managing technical information by Colorway and Grade combinations.
Measurement and File Exports
Once the 3D garment's points of measure are in the pack and target values are entered, the data may need to reach pattern makers, suppliers, or downstream systems. CLO-SET offers several export options for these handoffs.
For supported .zprj and .zpac files, Excel Tech Pack can export selected sections—including Overview, BOM, POM, Cutter's Must, Graphic, and Annotation & Comments—as Excel or PDF. BOM data can also be exported as Excel, and Construction pages as PDF. POM CSV Export reflects the selected columns, column order, and measurement units. Confirm which file format and column structure your factory or PLM requires before setting up your export routine.
3D Tech Pack Tools
CLO-SET Web Tech Pack, Browzwear VStitcher, and Style3D handle 3D inputs, documented specification contents, and file exports across different formats.

| Browzwear VStitcher | VStitcher garment project | Configurable tech-pack content, including materials, artwork, seams, trims, and pattern shapes | Excel (2020.1.1 and newer); otherwise folders and an HTML file |
| Style3D | Sketches, images, or AI-generated concepts in its published workflow | 3D garment creation, fabric simulation, and production exports | PDF/A tech packs, DXF and AAMA patterns, and BOMs |
FAQ
How can design teams build and update a style's bill of materials as the design changes?
In CLO-SET Web Tech Pack, BOM information can be generated from the fabrics, trims, and other material data included in .zprj and .zpac files. When you upload a new Content Version for supported .zprj or .zpac Style Content, you can choose whether to update the pack with the latest changes.
How are garment costs tracked alongside 3D material updates in the tech pack?
The Cost Estimation section in CLO-SET Web Tech Pack combines BOM-related material costs with additional expenses you enter, such as labor and transportation.
Can teams export only specific parts of a tech pack for vendors?
Yes. For supported .zprj and .zpac files, Excel Tech Pack export lets you select sections including Overview, BOM, POM, Cutter's Must, Graphic, and Annotation & Comments, then download them as Excel or PDF. For measurement-only handoffs, POM CSV Export reflects the selected columns, column order, and measurement units.
