Testimonials

"ArahWeave changed my way of conceiving fabrics.
It allowed me to make fabrics, that I had only seen in school books.
ArahWeave and ArahPaint have renewed my creative enthusiasm.
I will never thank enough the person who recommended me your CAD."

Alessandro Bacci

“I have been using Arahne's CAD suite for several years now, since I had added electronic jacquards to my weaving mill, it was necessary to automate the Jacquard design process as much as possible. As a design partner, I chose Arahne because it is a very complete, fast and practical program that manages to do its job in an excellent way. The staff of Arahne is always ready to adapt the program according to my needs, thanks to this today I can provide a fast and personalized service to my customers. I love to define this creation of Dušan Peterc, a "Swiss army knife" of CAD for its lightness, adaptability and variety of tools that makes available.”

“We have chosen Arahne CAD system because it enables us to use new kind of structures, which is very important for us as a design company. The system is easy to learn and use for our jacquard looms.
Arahne has perfect helpdesk and we have always got the very best training from them.
Arahne gives us great possibility to simulate the fabrics to our and customers and designers before weaving anything. It simply saves time and money.“

“As a jacquard artist, I find ArahWeave to be indispensable in developing my designs. Why? ArahWeave makes it easy to construct new weave structures, particularly complex structures that would be difficult or impossible to build in Photoshop. My last piece, "Bipolar Prison," used 29 different weave structures, a mix of satins, twills, and fancy twills in triple weave. These structures were too complex to create in Photoshop, and other jacquard design packages were far too expensive for me (or any other artist) to afford. ArahWeave made constructing these complicated weave structures very simple AND simulated a complicated triple-weave design beautifully. I could not have done this project without ArahWeave.

I would recommend ArahWeave to any artist who wants to do extraordinary things with jacquard design!”

Tien Chiu

Our company has been Arahne's customer for many years.
When choosing the CAD program, we paid attention to the customer's delivery.
Good customer service, listening to customers and development suggestions are taken into account.
Thanks to electronic prints, the approval of the fabric is easy and quick.

“An indispensable tool that would revolutionize every design office. After years of using it, I could no longer separate myself from it.
Thank you Dušan and team.”

“ArahWeave is the best CAD software I have ever used.

By using it we completely eliminated the need to create fabric samples by hand. I strongly recommend it.”

"We have been using Arahne’s CAD for many years. We have 2 workstations in the office, and in these years ArahWeave has evolved with us. We chose Arahne’s CAD for its simplicity, intuitiveness and completeness. After more than 15 years of using it, we can confirm its contribution to our company."

I have met Arahne’s CEO, Mr. Dušan Peterc, in the year 2001. I was introduced to him by a dear friend, my companion of Textile School. I remember that I had been struck by the simplicity of how Mr. Peterc had "written" the Arahne textile CAD and the extreme simplicity to use his CAD for fabric design. I think I was one of his first customers in Biella weaving jacquard and therefore very useful. Over the years, Arahne has become most appreciated software along with their professional support.”

Filippo Uecher

“We have been using the Arahne CAD/CAM for weaving since many years not only for our own jacquard designs but mainly for educational purposes, training textile students from Austrian and International universities on industrial Jacquard power looms here at the Textile Centre Haslach. From this experience we can attest the Arahne product family only the best performance, stability and functionality. The program structure is logical and easy to work with. The support, if ever needed, is immediate, outcome-oriented and friendly. A definite job enrichment and one of our dearest partners!”

“I am Carlo Antonio, owner of the DANZO weaving factory in Valdagno, which has always been involved in the creation of new fabrics and in the search for new techniques for their realization.
To achieve these objectives, we have to build solid ground by the continuous innovation and updating of all the information systems, both the management / production and the planning, and their interconnection.

In Arahne's CAD system, I immediately appreciated the versatility of the program and glimpsed in the owner Dušan Peterc and his team the opportunity to interact to improve our way of creating collections and managing production.

Over the years, I have been able to appreciate Arahne's willingness to develop new tergeted parts of the program, for example: to make design easier and faster, to design remotely, to develop different fabric variants and on-line calculation of fabric production costs.

The extreme competence and professionalism of the entire Arahne team is essential, in order to guarantee the customer the reliability and functioning of the system; something not so common in a field of computer science, where hardware and operating systems continually changes, sometimes creating serious problems of backward compatibility.”
