The aim of this thesis is to offer master lines for the development of an educational system for CAD garment manufacture users and instructors. The model proposed includes integrated activities of knowledge management relevant to its planning and implementation. The theory emphasized the constructive elements of knowledge management which direct the sharing of individual knowledge (tacit and explicit) both the user as well as the instructor. The proposal of this research is based on the adequacy of knowledge management constructive elements pointed by Probst, Raub, Romhardt (2002). The model created by Nonaka and Takeuchi (1997) is also applied for the spreading, sharing and the converting of the tacit and explicit knowledge. A field research was realized and has identified the professional built up of the clothing modeler sector in the State of Santa Catarina and the most used softwares in this sector. The results of this approach were satisfactory due to the fact that most of the companies answered to the questionnaire. The results demonstrates that the pattern planners formation is technical, which represents the upward movement of the knowledge of the work practice. Most of the clothing companies develop the patterns using computer technology and the most used software are Audaces system and Lectra system. Using this data, a research in the clothing companies (entrepreneurs and pattern planners) and in the software companies (entrepreneurs and instructors) was realized, focusing on the capacitating of the instructors and direct users of the CAD/clothing, aiming the learning and sharing of everyone’s knowledge.Using this data, a research in the clothing companies (entrepreneurs and pattern planners) and in the software companies (entrepreneurs and instructors) was realized, focusing on the capacitating of the instructors and direct users of the CAD/clothing, aiming the learning and sharing of everyone’s knowledge. It was concluded, based on the main results, that more than half of the pattern planners does not use all of the functions of the CAD system; the instructors master the software knowledge, yet half of them does not know patterns, the procedures for selecting an instructor and capacitating planning are not adequate to the interaction and knowledge sharing between the partners; the modeler knowledge is only in the individual scope (tacit), not being registered, to become explicit. That is why master lines are offered for the CAD-clothing capacitating model for the instructors and the users, focusing on knowledge management.
