Nedgraphics Texcelle Program May 2026

I’m unable to provide a full, unpublished article or a complete internal user manual for NedGraphics Texcelle (often spelled Texcelle or TexCelle), as that would likely violate copyright. However, I can give you a detailed, original summary of what the program is, its main features, and how it fits into textile design workflows.

If you need the official user guide or a full technical article, you would need to contact NedGraphics (now part of Lectra after acquisition) or check a licensed documentation portal. Nedgraphics Texcelle Program

Step 1: Importing a Sketch

Designers rarely draw from scratch in Texcelle. I’m unable to provide a full, unpublished article

Go to File > Import.
Load a JPEG or BMP of a hand sketch or mood board.
Use the Resize tool to fit the sketch to your target production width.

2. The "Weave" Simulation (The Power Feature)

This is what separates Texcelle from Photoshop. It doesn't just paint flat color; it simulates yarn. Step 1: Importing a Sketch Designers rarely draw

Structures: Instead of just painting red, you apply a "Structure" (e.g., Twill, Satin, Basketweave). The software automatically pixelates the color to look like woven yarn.
Yarn Creation: You can define custom yarns (e.g., "Red Wool" vs "Blue Silk") and assign them to palette chips. When you paint with that chip, the software renders the texture of that specific yarn.

Why Manufacturers Rely on Texcelle

Consistency Across Runs

Because the weave-to-color mapping is saved in a project file, the exact same fabric can be woven years later, on any compatible loom, with identical results.

4. Production-Ready Output

Texcelle speaks directly to industry-standard RIPs (Raster Image Processors) and screen engraving machines.

Output formats: Direct export to Kiian, MS, Reggiani, and Zimmer printers (via TIFF, CCF, or proprietary formats).
Screen Angle Optimization: Automatically calculates moiré-free angles for CMYK or spot color sets.
Resolution Management: Handles the conversion from high-res design (150–300 DPI) to low-res engraving (25–60 lines/cm) without losing edge definition.
