Computers in clothing

A review is presented of the use of computers in the agrment design and making-up sectors of the UK clothing industry.

Pattern adjustments for the behaviour of materials

The effect of fabric behaviour and properties on pattems and processability is explored. For example, when one pattem is for three summer weight fabrics, the problems found during making-up, and also with the resulaant garments, are found to differ in each case. FAST instumentation is used to inject a degree of objective measurement into ..

Computational technique for 3-D pattern design

This survey investigates the problem of implementing a practical 3-D modeling for pattern design for the apparel industry, describing a series of defferent approaches which have been used in the past. However, patterns are useful only when ease and opening are included. All models and approaches described are based on the steric fit of th..

A study of techniques for handling the chest components of men's jackets

Equipment for handling the garment components for the chest region during the making-up of men's jackets is discussed.

`ISYS'-the integrated system

features of the title system for use in making-up are discussed, along with all the modules and programs which facilitate fully computer-based garment design and made-to-measure garment production.

Linking manufacturing to pre-production functions

Features of information systems for use in garment making-up are summarized. This demonstrates that it is not possible to rely on information jotted down on a piece of paper. The only way forward is to use a network system where every function is linked and controlled through a wide-ranging approach.

Handling the garments

Automated materials handling systems for use in the various garment making-up operations are featured (Proplast, Hiemac, Gribetz and AS&&P).

Quality control in garment dyeing

There has recently been an increased demand for the dyeing and finishing of fully fashioned garments. In this article the issues to be considered to ensure quality is maintained is garment processing are discussed including quality control for seams, elasticated areas, waist bands and cuffs, shrinkage, creasing, accessories, sewing thread..

직물과 환경 - 의류의 에콜로지

GFK(소비조사협회)에 따르면, 환경을 의식하고 있는 독일인의 수는 1985년 39％에서 1990년에는 62％로 급격히 증가하고 있다. 이것은 글리콜함유 와인, 체르노빌 사고, 알라스카 원유 유출 등의 큰 환경재해로 인해 환경문제에 대한 관심이 높아지게 되었다. 유럽에서의 비교에 의하면 독일은 네덜란드, 스웨덴과 함께 환경문제에 대한 관심이 높은 상태이며, 대환..

마이크로 섬유의 가공

마이크로섬유로된 의류는 응용 분야에 따라 가공 공정이 달라지는데, 이것을 스포츠웨어, 우비, 레저의류, 야외복, 슬랙스, 셔츠, 브라우스에 대하여 상세히 기술하였다. 또한 마모와 에머라이징 공정에 대해 검토하였다.
