DMIx integrates directly into the 3D design, fabric development and asset management tools that brands, manufacturers and suppliers already work with. No parallel system, no duplicate data entry. Material data, color references and PBR assets flow between DMIx and connected applications via AppLink.
DMIx AppLink connects with CLO3D, Browzwear (VStitcher, Lotta), Style3D, Shoemaster by Atom, iCAD by INESCOP, Penelope CAD and Vizoo xTex, with RapidPipeline for 3D asset optimization in development. On the hardware side, DMIx works with X-Rite, Datacolor and Konica Minolta spectrophotometers. Verified spectral color, PBR materials and texture maps flow between DMIx and your 3D garment design, footwear CAD, fabric simulation and material digitization tools.
CLO3D is one of the industry's leading 3D garment design platforms. DMIx is fully compatible with CLO3D, verified material data, spectral color values and PBR texture maps flow directly from DMIx into CLO3D, so digital garments are built on measured material reality rather than approximated inputs.
Visit websiteBrowzwear's VStitcher and Lotta platforms are used by leading fashion brands and manufacturers for digital product creation from design through production. DMIx is fully compatible with Browzwear, PBR materials from the DMIx library are immediately available within the Browzwear environment.
Visit websiteStyle3D is a fast-growing 3D fashion design platform used across garment design, fabric simulation and digital product development. DMIx is fully compatible with Style3D, enabling verified material and color data from DMIx to inform 3D design and digital presentation workflows.
Visit websiteShoemaster by Atom is the leading CAD/CAM platform for footwear design and production engineering, used by over 800 shoe design companies worldwide. DMIx integrates bidirectionally with Shoemaster, enabling material assets including color and texture data to flow between the two platforms.
Visit websiteiCAD, developed by INESCOP, is a 3D and 2D pattern engineering platform purpose-built for the footwear industry. DMIx feeds PBR material data from its 3D library directly into iCAD, giving footwear designers verified, physically accurate material references within their design environment.
Visit websitePenelope is a specialist CAD platform for Jacquard and Dobby fabric design and simulation, with over 30 years of experience and customers in more than 40 countries. DMIx connects with Penelope in both directions: PBR material data flows into Penelope's weaving simulation environment, and color references from the DMIx Color Library, including yarn colors, are available directly within Penelope's design workflow.
Visit websiteVizoo is a Germany-based specialist in material digitization hardware and software, helping fashion brands, fabric mills and manufacturers create digital twins of physical materials since 2013. Materials scanned with Vizoo's xTex system can be imported directly into DMIx, adding physically based texture data to the DMIx material library.

Coming soonRapidPipeline is the leading platform for 3D asset optimization, converting and compressing 3D files for web, XR and downstream production use. The AppLink integration between DMIx and RapidPipeline is currently in development and will enable optimized 3D asset delivery directly from DMIx workflows.
Visit websiteDMIx is device-independent. Connect the spectrophotometers your color and material teams already operate, and feed verified spectral data straight into shared standards, lab dip approvals and bulk control. No hardware swap, no vendor lock-in.
DMIx supports X-Rite spectrophotometers for capturing spectral color and material data, including AxF workflows. Existing devices plug in directly, no hardware swap required.
Datacolor spectrophotometers are natively supported in DMIx. Measurements from existing Datacolor devices flow directly into spectral color standards, lab dip approvals and bulk control.
DMIx is compatible with Konica Minolta Sensing spectrophotometers. Spectral measurement data feeds into DMIx directly, with no change to your existing measurement workflow.
