Links between design, pattern development and fabric behaviours for clothes and technical textiles

Abstract

Shows the necessity of developing powerful 3D CAD-systems for the textile and clothing industry. The connection between 2D and 3D CAD-systems enables the user to prepare a collection more quickly and accurately. Applications could be the drape behaviour of the fabric, the deformational behaviour of fabrics when covering defined surfaces and also technical textiles.

The Return of Craft Designer (Pattern Maker) Re-Valued Through the New 3D Technologies

“…Finite element an mass spring. Anyhow all were supposed to integrate the most important fabric effects such as density, elasticity bending and some hysteresis ( 6).…”

Three-dimensional (3D) technologies for apparel and textile design

“…Last, the system should be able to realistically model the properties and behavior of a wide range of fabrics in a variety of environments. These three areas should be incorporated appropriately to create the most useful and interactive 3D CAD system for apparel (Gong et al, 2001;Hardaker & Fozzard, 1998;Imaoka, 1996;Inui, 2001;Ng et al, 1993;Protopsaltou et al, n.d.;Rodel et al, 2001).…”

“…For instance, they can signifi cantly affect the product development process. Traditional apparel CAD systems are centered on 2D pattern design, requiring the development of physical prototypes to determine the effectiveness of a garment style or fi t. This iterative process contributes to an apparel product development stage that is almost three times the consumption stage (Rodel et al, 2001) and constitutes 4-6% of total garment costs (Farber, 2002). However, the fashion industry works on very short cycle times, requiring fast product adjustments and responses to market demands.…”

Application of the Fuzzy System for an Emotional Pattern Generator

“…This research is dealing with geometric patterns because, according to literature studies, it can be seen that, while many industries are about to use patterns as an aesthetic feature on a product, only a few of them (for instance, textile industry [17]) use patterns according to their effect on human emotions. For example, in the field of interior decoration [18], jewelry patterns [19], package design [20], textile, and clothing industry [21] research are patterns on products; however, they do not connect them to emotions.…”
