Synopsis

Computer technology has transformed textiles from their design through to their manufacture. This book reflects the significant advances that have been made in computer technologies, covering a wide range of topics from modelling to electronic textiles and apparel. Part one provides a review of different computer based technologies suitable for textile materials. Chapters include computer technology for yarn structure, fabric defects and garment structure. Part two discusses modelling and simulation principles of fibres and textiles. Examples of topics include the modelling of yarn and garments. Part three concludes with a review of computer based technologies specific to apparel, themes range from 3D body scanning to electronic textiles.

Key Features: provides an overview of innovative developments in computer technology for a wide range of applications; covers structure and defect analysis, modelling and simulation and apparel design; themes range from 3D body scanning to the teaching of computer-aided design to fashion students.
