The fashion apparel business has a transient nature regarding product lifecycles, which requires the adoption of adaptable production cycles to accommodate the constantly evolving customer preferences. The labour-intensive production and escalating sustainability concerns catalyse industrial advancements. The industrial landscape is undergoing significant transformations due to the implementation of industrial 4.0 technologies, specifically computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM). CAD software facilitates the fabrication of intricate digital garment models, augmenting fashion designers’ capabilities. The capacity to swiftly produce prototypes enables the investigation and execution of inventive concepts. Consequently, the design process becomes more efficient, leading to faster product launches. Moreover, CAD effectively incorporates CAM technologies, automating cutting and sewing operations. This serves to reduce errors and enhance manufacturing efficiency. The convergence of CAD and CAM technologies is fostering a more sustainable approach to apparel production. Firstly, CAD-CAM optimises material utilisation by enabling precise digital garment creation. This reduces fabric waste generated during the cutting process. Secondly, by automating production processes and minimising human error, CAD-CAM decreases overall production waste. Hence, the collective impact of these factors reduces the ecological impact in the context of garment production. Nevertheless, deploying CAD-CAM systems presents several challenges. One notable obstacle is the substantial initial capital commitment necessary for the acquisition of software, hardware, and complete people training initiatives. Additionally, the effective operation of these systems requires specialised knowledge, potentially aggravating pre-existing skill deficiencies within the business. Finally, ensuring seamless integration between CAD-CAM software suites is crucial to avoid data disruptions and workflow inefficiencies. Remarkably, CAD-CAM technologies are transforming fashion apparel manufacturing by increasing efficiency, elevating product quality, and fostering a more sustainable production method. As the industry embraces these groundbreaking advancements, finding a vital equilibrium between automation and the invaluable worth of human innovation is paramount.
