Optitex 21 (O/21) effectively, your hardware needs to handle complex CAD patterns and 3D garment simulations. While the latest Optitex Desktop Product System Requirements
If your workflow is strictly 2D (pattern drafting and nesting), the requirements are relatively modest. Processor (CPU): An Intel i5 is the baseline. Memory (RAM): 8 GB is sufficient for standard 2D tasks.
Hardware needs are tiered based on the complexity of the tasks being performed. Processor (CPU):
RAM allows you to handle multiple patterns and large markers simultaneously without lag. Recommended: 16 GB or 32 GB RAM.

Next step: Validate current workstations against the Recommended column before Optitex 21 deployment.
Recommended: Intel Core i7 / i9 or AMD Ryzen 7 / 9 (10th Gen or newer).
Check your system against the requirements above before you call your IT department. If you match the "Recommended" tier, you are ready to cut, sew, and simulate without a single crash.
The golden rule: Spend your budget on the GPU first (for 3D simulation), RAM second (for large markers), and CPU third (for batch nesting). A cheap GPU will make your daily work feel like wading through molasses.
