Saurer Arbon Ltd., Switzerland, has released the latest version of its EmStudio computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing embroidery software. V2.20 now fully supports embroidering, boring, sequins, laser techniques and soutache applications. A cutting and engraving laser device offered as an additional unit also is fully supported, enabling new effects to be created through the combination of embroidery, boring and laser techniques.

Additional features include: a new photo mask in drawing and punching that provides total transparency to the user; improved handling and accelerated graphic construction via the SHC Editor; freely definable keyboard layout leading to more efficient design of the user interface; and simplified allocation of yarn settings to design, which ensures easier handling and reproducible quality; among others.

EmStudio V2.20 is compatible with Windows® 2000, XP and Vista.
