Course content
Course programme: 1. Computer technology in clothing production. Possibilities innovation of apparel production for customisation. 2. The production garments for individual person by the MTM method (Made To Measure). 3. Fitting and alteration of pattern considering to size table of garment. Rightly basic understanding of the variation in figure shapes and the appropriate pattern modification. Pattern alteration according to the wearer´s; bone structure, posture, body size and contour. 4. Computer graphics - theory, input and output devices, applications, product development. Use of 3D printing in product development. 5. Design Concept 3D - software for developing patterns from 3D objects. Creating 2D pattern from 3D design for prototyping. Choosing the material from a pre-defined library. Defining mechanical properties of fabrics for simulation, stress analysis and measurement of pattern deformation. 6. Theory of construction process for automatic construction of garment by CAD system in 2D. Creation macro for pattern modification. 7. Scanning the surface of the human body and its applications. Advanced 3D pattern design systems for design of garment. Application examples of CAD systems. Practice: 1. Assessing the figure shape and garment fit. Determination of proportionality of the human body. 2. Pattern alteration according to wearer´s: posture, bone structure, body size and contour. 3.CAD technology for customisation, computerised made-to-measure systems (MTM) and mass customisation. 4. Solution of design defects of clothing in connection with the type of somatic deviation by means of computer graphics. Lectra Modaris PGS commands related to modeling of garments and creation of macros. 5. Solution for evaluating fit of garment: kyphotic and lordotic posture, figures with scoliosis. Creating a macro in CAD system 6. Solution for evaluating fit of garment: close or open stance, etc. Creating a macro in CAD system. 7. Practical work - pattern modification using MTM software. 8. Realization of Order using MTM software for individual clothing production. 9. Use of software PDS Tailor XQ for custom production of clothing - tailored. 10. Advanced 2D and 3D pattern design systems, their functions and use in displaying clothing on a virtual figure and 3D object creation. 11. Basic menu of commands in the program AutoCAD in 2D - practical examples of use in the design of clothing patterns. 12. Basic menu of commands in AutoCAD in 3D environment - practical examples of use in object design. 13. Excursions (production of clothing made-to-measure). 14. Presentation and defence of project according to assignment.
