Does Silhouet replace a technical designer?
No. Silhouet helps draft and organize production data, but technical designers and production teams should validate the details before factory handoff.
Silhouet
Generate factory-ready tech packs from sketches, Shopify products, and product notes.
Silhouet uses AI to help draft, structure, and organize apparel production information, then keeps that information connected to a living product record.
What is a tech pack?
A tech pack is the production document that explains how a garment should be made. It usually includes sketches or images, measurements, materials, trims, construction notes, labels, packaging, colorways, size ranges, and revision history.
What should be inside a tech pack?
A useful apparel tech pack should give a factory enough context to quote, sample, and produce the product with fewer back-and-forth questions. The details depend on the product, but the goal is always the same: turn design intent into clear production instructions.
What AI can help draft and organize
AI can help transform sketches, reference images, Shopify product data, and founder notes into structured sections such as product summaries, construction prompts, BOM line items, colorway details, sizing context, and factory handoff notes.
What founders should still validate
AI should not replace technical judgment. Founders, technical designers, and production partners should still validate measurements, material choices, construction feasibility, grading, tolerances, fit, safety, compliance, and factory-specific requirements.
Why a living product record is better than a static PDF
A static PDF is useful for handoff, but product development changes constantly. Silhouet is built around a living product record so tech packs, BOMs, variants, notes, and production status can stay connected as the style evolves.
Common questions
What inputs can Silhouet use for tech pack creation?
Silhouet is designed around sketches, Shopify products, reference images, product notes, and structured apparel production data.
Can the tech pack change after it is generated?
Yes. Silhouet is built around a living product record, so product and production details can be refined as the style develops.
