The techniques disclosed herein analyze a garment design to create, verify, and package technical specifications usable by a manufacturer to produce a garment. Computer vision technologies are applied to an image of the garment to identify fabrics and other materials, notions such as zippers, buttons, drawstrings, etc., and individual panels that will be cut and sewn together to produce the garment. In some configurations, the identified aspects of the garment are analyzed for inconsistencies, omissions, or other errors. A designer of the garment may be prompted to resolve any errors. The confirmed specifications are then exported to a tech pack that conforms to the standards of a manufacturer, including a bill of materials, a list of panels to be cut, and annotations confirming the intent of the designer. A clothing manufacturer may then use the tech pack to configure machines to produce the garment.
