This integration means that a single NedGraphics license can manage design, engineering, and production prep—eliminating the need for multiple disparate software packages.
is a specialized woven fabric design and simulation software from NedGraphics (Lectra). It is used by textile designers and manufacturers to create, edit, and visualize woven structures — including dobbies, jacquards, and color-and-weave effects — without physically weaving samples.

A photograph or a complex scan often contains millions of colors, which is impractical for weaving or rotary printing. Texcelle offers sophisticated color reduction algorithms that convert complex images into a limited number of clean, separable colors without losing the essence of the design. It allows for precise separation of layers, ensuring that each color in the design corresponds to a specific yarn or printing screen. This integration means that a single NedGraphics license
The designer scans a hand-drawn sketch or imports a high-res TIFF/PSD from Photoshop. Texcelle supports RGB, CMYK, and Spot color spaces. A photograph or a complex scan often contains
The climax of the Texcelle "story" is the handoff to production. The software "understands" the constraints of machinery—like the number of needles or yarn limits—before a single thread is spun.
A leading automotive upholstery supplier was facing a crisis: their intricate jacquard-woven simulations required rotary printed backups, but the color separations kept failing due to fabric stretch of 15-18%.
