Embedded systems for computational garment design
… an insufficient means of expression. Clothing designers want to create systems of clothing that react, collect information, and enrich our interactions with spaces and people; however, technical barriers inhibit designers interested in building computational garments. Designers need a tool that …

Garment Design Workflows for On-Demand Machine Knitting
… enable on-demand production of custom, whole garments at once. They reduce the need for manual post-processing and generate minimal waste. Yet, their programming is still hardly accessible and is effectively done manually by few skillful knitting technicians. The programming of knitted …

Transforming shape: a simultaneous approach to the body, cloth and print for garment and textile design (synthesising CAD with manual methods)
Printed textile and garment design are generally taught and practised as separate disciplines. Integrated CAD software enables textile and clothing designers to envisage printed garments by assimilating graphic imagery with 2D garment shapes, and 3D visualisations. Digital printing can be enlisted …

Fit and sizing evaluation of limited-use protective coveralls
Garment fit is a complex concept made up of objective and subjective variables. It can be measured in terms of functional ease, garment ease, comfort, and appearance. The success of any garment design is dependent upon the suitability of fit for intended end use. Garment fit is fundamental to user …

The technical designer: a new craft approach for creating seamless knitwear
The separation of the design and technical roles within commercial knitwear design has led to a 'technical skills gap' between designers and industrial knitting technology, which has contributed to the communication problems between designers and technicians. Historically, these issues have been …
