The F* Word is an AI tech pack generator for fashion brands. Upload a sketch, a reference image or an approved brief, and it generates an editable, factory-ready tech pack draft in 8 to 10 minutes. Each AI-generated tech pack includes a bill of materials (BOM), points of measure (POM), size grading, tolerance tables, technical flats, construction callouts and colorways. A technical designer reviews and approves every field before the tech pack goes to the factory.
Every draft includes the sections factories expect in a tech pack: technical flats, a BOM with fabrics, trims and labels, POM and measurement specs for the base size, grading across the size range, tolerance tables, construction callouts, colorways and revision history.
A hand sketch, a flat, a reference photo, a moodboard or an approved creative brief. Add garment category, fabric direction and base size, and the generator fills the specification.
The tech pack generator is trained on 85,000+ proprietary garment records tied to real factory outputs, including fit, POM, BOM and grading. It can reuse your prior tech packs, fit comments and grading decisions, so each new tech pack starts from your own standards instead of a blank template.
A manual tech pack takes about 16 hours per style in Excel, Illustrator or template tools like Techpacker. The AI tech pack generator drafts the full tech pack in 8 to 10 minutes, and your team edits rather than builds from scratch.
One tech pack is 65 credits. New accounts get 75 free credits with no card, and 100 credits cost $10, so a full AI tech pack draft costs about $5 to $7.
Export tech packs as PDF and PNG, with 3D files as GLB. Enterprise plans sync tech packs with Centric PLM and PTC FlexPLM.
This is an illustrative sample of the tech pack format, for one garment with every section filled. The values show the structure of the output, not a real production style.

AI drafts are strongest on structure: the sections, the BOM lines, the measurement points and the grade steps. They are weakest where a factory needs judgement, such as construction callouts, seam choices for a specific fabric and trims a sketch does not show. That is why a technical designer reviews and approves every production field before supplier handoff. Read more on construction callouts, the tech pack field AI gets wrong, or see the main AI tech pack generator page.
Yes, as a draft. The F* Word drafts a factory-ready tech pack with BOM, POM, grading, tolerances, flats and construction callouts in 8 to 10 minutes. A technical designer reviews and approves every production field before it goes to the factory.
The tech pack draft takes 8 to 10 minutes. Going from trend analysis to a tech pack draft takes about 15 minutes. A manual tech pack takes about 16 hours per style.
A bill of materials, points of measure, size grading, tolerance tables, technical flats, construction callouts, colorways and revision history. The F* Word drafts every one of these sections.
Grading is drafted from grade rules for the garment category and, when you have them, from your own prior tech packs and grading decisions. Treat it as a draft. Your technical designer checks every increment before supplier handoff.
Yes. Every field is editable. Export as PDF and PNG, with 3D files as GLB. Enterprise plans sync tech packs with Centric PLM and PTC FlexPLM.
