In the new version of ArahWeave 10.5 we have upgraded our compression engine from zlib to Zstd and tested it on a real customer dataset of 10,000 files. The benefits are immediate: Smaller files: depending on the fabric file type, size is reduced by 10–30% ...
We’ve expanded the flexibility of variable density in ArahWeave CAD software. Some looms define density through a pattern where each letter represents a different weft density. We initially supported up to nine different densities, but feedback from customers in India weaving highly complex saris showed...
Designing complex warp and weft patterns just became dramatically faster. With the latest update in ArahWeave, you can now paste a full warp or weft pattern directly from an image, eliminating the need to build multi‑color patterns manually. Start by creating a small 8‑bit gradient image...
Dark mode is officially coming to ArahWeave, and while it may look like a simple visual option, it’s the result of a thoughtful redesign aimed at improving real weaving workflows. We work inside the fashion and textile industry, but we don’t follow visual trends just because...
Arahne is stepping into the art world once again. We’re proud to share that our technology and expertise are part of the newly opened exhibition “Knots and Patterns 2026”, hosted at Stolp Škrlovec in Kranj. As part of the project, our weaving software was used at...
Apple’s latest M‑series computers (M1 through M4) use a fundamentally different hardware architecture and USB framework than traditional PCs. To deliver a consistent, reliable experience for every user, we’ve updated the ArahWeave interface for the NIX Spectro 2 color‑measurement device. As a result, support for the...
The 2025 development cycle delivers more than 915 enhancements across ArahWeave, ArahPaint6, and ArahDrape — all focused on improving speed, stability, and everyday workflow efficiency. Highlights Major performance boosts for large fabrics and complex weaves Increased stability and more reliable jacquard/regulator behavior Cleaner, more intuitive weave...
We've created a custom color profile for Epson’s latest EcoTank photo printers, the ET‑8500 (A4) and ET‑8550 (A3). Both models come equipped with a built‑in scanner and use a six‑color bottled‑ink system, offering excellent value and impressive print quality. Epson provides the Linux driver for...
We’ve added a new space‑saving feature in ArahWeave to optimize the generation of fabric technical data. When converting HTML to PDF or embedding images directly into HTML to create a single file, the program can now automatically remove the separate image files, which are typically...
As textile design increasingly relies on fabric simulations, we often prefer to skip physical printouts and send image files directly to customers for approval. Formats like JPEG or WebP are convenient because they produce small files, but their color accuracy is limited. Colors are converted...
