CAD/CAM technology.
GAIN (GEMINI Academic Initiative) empowers students and teachers alike to achieve more by offering access to the latest CAD/CAM technology used in the industry.
The technical education environment preparing designers and CAD/CAM specialists for the fashion and apparel industry has always struggled to gain access to production-level technology and reproduce real manufacturing processes in its labs.
Our contribution to change is granting access to a complete solution that covers the production workflow (design, product development, and manufacturing) in the fashion and apparel industry.
Under GAIN, we offer free educational licenses for commercial-grade technology to any type of technical educational institution and any individual associated with one, without limitation to teachers, researchers, trainers, as well as all their students, trainees, and course attendees, for as long as they are involved in the educational activities.
Private or public educational institutions (vocational or high schools, colleges, universities)
Individuals associated with educational institutions (teachers, students, researchers)
