CLO is a cutting-edge 3D garment visualization software widely used in the fashion and apparel industry. It allows designers and brands to create, simulate, and showcase realistic digital garments in a three-dimensional space. By leveraging advanced physics-based simulation technology, CLO accurately replicates fabric behavior, texture, and fit, providing a true-to-life preview of clothing designs without the need for physical samples.
