Tuft Software for Carpet & Tuft Design

NedGraphics Tuft is the industry’s leading tuft design software, built to support a wide variety of tufting machines from all major manufacturers. As the most advanced tufting software available, Tuft empowers designers and technicians to streamline every stage of the process, from initial patterns to production-ready designs.

Get started by drawing-in your cam motion, assigning yarns to needles, and specifying the high-low pattern. Results are displayed instantly, with immediate notifications for any errors or inconsistencies—including enhanced alerts for unassigned colors in patterns.

Accelerate production with ultra-realistic virtual samples, recolor simulations on the fly, and the ability to focus simulations on specific areas of your design. These features simplify precision edits and improve workflow efficiency.

A built-in yarn requirement calculator helps determine necessary yarn lengths and weights, with results exported directly to Microsoft Excel for further processing.

Now available as a pilot: NEDLink integration for Tuft clients. Connect your designs to ERP and PLM systems to reduce errors, speed up processes, and simplify production through a seamless ERP textile software link.

Key Features

Tuft Features

NedGraphics Tuft is available in 2 versions: Tuft and Tuft Premium. Select the version best suited to your needs:

What’s New with

NedGraphics 2026 introduces a newly integrated 3D Viewer in Tuft Premium, powered by U3M files—a next-generation tufted fabric simulation. This tool allows users to preview tufted designs in full 3D, displaying fabrics as if they were unrolled from a roll, so designers can see exactly how the material would appear when laid out on the floor. Previously, Tuft simulations were limited to flat visualizations, the new 3D viewer provides a more realistic and dynamic perspective.
