The synergism of design and technology for the optimisation of embroidery motifs in clothing

Abstract

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to investigate the influence of embroidering technological parameters, of knitted material structure and of either using or not nonwoven material for backing on the quality of restangular embroidered element; based on the obtained results to select the optimal technological parameters for the embroidering of original clothing element avoiding the higher time expenses for the technical development process of new product. Design/methodology/approach -The new methodology for the optimization of technology of original embroidered clothing element is based on the measurements of simple geometric element. Findings -The methodology of technology optimisation based on the measurement of restangular element geometric parameters can also be applied for the optimization of the embroidering technology of advanced design elements.Research limitations/implications -The present study was carried out investigating knitted materials, but its methodology may be used for woven fabrics also, as their elongation rate is lower than one of knitted materials. Originality/value -Development of the embroidering technology of original clothing element is based on the scientific approach and industrial experience.

The Research on the Accuracy of the Geometrical Parameters of the Closed-Circuit Embroidery Element

“…The research focus on the precision of the single closed contour width of the embroidered elements [11]. After a synergistic research has been accomplished the scientists analysed the changes in the geometrical parameters of the rectangular elements, performed by using three different lengths of the stitch and came to the conclusion that by using the materials, providing additional stiffness to the form and technical conditions remaining the same, the geometrical parameters of the investigated knitted materials, opposite to the of the structure, are received different because of the differences in the physical properties of the materials [2].…”

“…In case inner measurement does not comply with the designed one, the defects of the embroidery element appear, such as a gap between the elements, the offset of different threads of the elements etc. [2,5,11]. Therefore, the compliance of these parameters is so important and relevant.…”

Evaluation of stitch length accuracy of embroidery machine by different speed and step

“…There are many publications dedicated to the influence of technological and design parameters on the embroidery quality [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. In [1] a case study on the defects in industrial manufacturing of embroidered textiles is done.…”

Analysis on the Conformity between the Closed-Circuit Embroidery Elements of Different Widths and the Digitally Designed Elements

“…The smartest and newest technologies are available, and only high-quality experienced specialists are capable to convey precisely the elements of original design from the digital system on the textile products [11][12][13]. Thus, the compliance of the digitally created image with the completed embroidery element is of the essential importance while creating embroidery systems.…”

“…While analyzing rectangular mobile conversation antennas, embroidered applying different density, it has been obtained that the functionality of the antenna is influenced by the accuracy of the embroidery element, the type of filling, the orientation of the lines of stitches with regard to the thread system, and density [14]. The analysis shows that scientific research analyzing embroidery systems and the factors influencing the quality of their precision are becoming more and more relevant [1,2,7,[11][12][13]. To evaluate the deformation behavior of the…”
