A Novel Garment Prototyping Algorithm

Article Preview

Abstract:

New production techniques need to be developed in the clothing industry to satisfy the demands of customers. In this paper, a new algorithm, which can transform 3D surface of the prototype garment to 2D cutting pattern, was developed. The corresponding feature points with 2D prototype pattern were defined manually using 3D cursor on the body in advance. Further 3D wireframe of garment prototype was created by connecting feature points. The final pattern of the prototype was obtained by flattening geometrically 3D wireframe of each zone. The visual assessment was also made and proved the algorithm validity. This approach improved the flattened pattern practicality.
