Where a footwear CAD patternmaker can go next
5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a footwear CAD patternmaker already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Once the sample model has been approved for production, these professionals make series of patterns (grading) to produce a range of the same footwear model in different sizes.
