Tuft Software for Carpet & Tuft Design
NedGraphics Tuft is the industry’s leading tuft design software, built to support a wide variety of tufting machines from all major manufacturers. As the most advanced tufting software available, Tuft empowers designers and technicians to streamline every stage of the process, from initial patterns to production-ready designs.
Get started by drawing in your cam motion, assigning yarns to needles, and specifying the high-low pattern, with results displayed instantly and immediate alerts for any errors or inconsistencies, including unassigned colors in patterns. From there, accelerate production with ultra-realistic virtual samples, on-the-fly recoloring, focused simulation on specific design areas, and a built-in yarn requirement calculator that exports directly to Microsoft Excel.
