Application Of 3D Printing Technology In Garment Industry

< p > the industry believes that < a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp" > 3D garment technology < /a > has three key points, one is the automatic 3D body measurement system; the two is the automatic 3D plate making system, pforming the front measurement data and the choice of the flower type to the machine recognizes the language; three is the 3D knitting machine, this is also the most critical step.

What changes can 3D technology bring to the garment industry? < /p >

< p > for apparel brands, ensuring that clothes are as good as possible for their target customers is one of the major challenges facing any brand.

In most cases, clothing brands need to provide samples. Providing samples means making samples, cutting fabrics, sewing pieces and sending products to customers for fitness research. It may take many repetitions to verify that the garment is suitable or eventually abandoned.

It is understood that some clothing enterprises use rate as low as 25%.

A sample may cost between $250 and $1000, which is much higher if the cost of design and development is considered.

When a German garment company studied the average cost of abandoning the style, it found that each abandonment style cost more than 1200 euros.

Therefore, eliminating thousands of physical samples and related pportation costs each year can save a considerable cost.

< /p >

< p > therefore, clothing enterprises can now use 3D technology to decide whether or not to market a product, without using physical samples or using less physical samples, thereby significantly reducing the cost of abandonment styles (materials, manpower and time cost). Adopting 3D technology in the sample design stage helps reduce costs and shorten the time to market, and helps to improve the efficiency and profitability of the process.

< /p >

< p > in the sample making stage, 3D technology can also be used to predict the comfort and tightness of clothing.

According to industry experts, today's most advanced 3D applications combine samples with specific fabric properties and sutures to simulate the draping performance of fabrics.

3D human scanners collect millions of points in the enterprise fitting model, and then create the same virtual human body model as the actual human body, which is used to accurately predict the comfort and tightness of clothing.

Users can adjust the sample cuts in the 2D version of the production software, and then check them in the 3D application software to re simulate and check the fit again.

These adjustments can then be easily pferred to the pattern for fine-tuning.

< /p >

< p > in the past, all these work were done on the pattern, requiring a lot of manual manual adjustment.

Fit checking is a very time-consuming job in the past and often takes hours or even days.

Now, 3D application software contains the automation function designed to reduce repetitive tasks, and the trained technology can adjust the sample in only a few minutes.

< /p >

< p > < strong > fitting and comprehensive examination is more suitable for < a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_f.asp > > children's wear < /a > /strong > /p >

< p > in the absence of 3D technology, they usually only check the basic size of the template, sometimes check the smallest and the largest size of the template.

This is often difficult to achieve a good overall fit.

It is very important to check all sizes of samples, because it is directly related to the fitness and quality of clothing, thereby affecting the customer's recognition of the brand.

This comprehensive examination is especially important for children's clothing, because in normal circumstances, the smallest size must be changed, by adding or removing the cut to fit the shape of children of all ages.

Designers of all clothing markets, whether they are children's wear, men's wear, women's wear, sportswear or any other kinds of clothing, are under the same pressure, that is, to produce high quality products within a limited time.

3D technology can be used for full size inspection of garments.

< p > < --EndFragment-- > for clothing brand, it is necessary to pursue shorter product development cycle, and "speed of listing" is the key.

In the long process of product development, it is difficult for enterprises to rapidly launch the latest kinds of best sellers and complementary products.

But with 3D technology, companies can digitally adjust their designs and approve designs, with very few samples.

This can greatly shorten the cycle from design to product, so that enterprises can continue to sell.

In view of this situation, whether the retailers, brands or manufacturers of clothing industry often use 3D technology is their indispensable competitive advantage.

< p > 2012 is known as 3D printing year. This thirty year old technology has finally become easy to use and popularized.

Nowadays, the combination of 3D printing and fashion is not only satisfied with shoes. In 2013, in Paris and New York, 3D printing gown broke into people's attention.

In March 4th, Dita Vantes, who was named "goddess of Manhattan", was dressed in a nylon grid dress while attending a private show in Manhattan. Designer Scott said that 3D printing technology has great potential for the fashion market. This is an opportunity to combine handicraft industry with fashion design. Once the machines we make can meet the requirements of fashion production, people just need to stand in the room for 3D scan, and a piece of clothing will be made.

< p > in addition, the famous designer Joshua Harris hopes to build a 3D clothing printer, which not only can print new clothes, but also can decompose the raw materials of old clothes for new clothes.

Users only need to find their favorite clothing data online, throw old clothes into this 3D clothing printer, and press the button to wait for the appearance of new clothes.

Not only does it look great, officials say the running shoes also have excellent performance, which can improve the sprint ability of football players in the first 40 meters.

The new concept football shoes in the process of design and manufacture integrated 3D design modeling, sample printing and 3D printing and other cutting-edge technology.

Through the 3D technology, this kind of boot has the characteristics of simple technology, high flexibility, low cost, fast molding speed and so on. At the same time, the development time of the sample is shortened from several months to several hours.

The virtual fitting of < p > strong > 3D is less than /strong > /p.

< p > at present, many people often appear unfit clothes and return goods after shopping online. In the future, the help of 3D technology can solve this problem well.

< /p >

< p > it is reported that Hong Kong University Science & Technology has successfully developed the "3D garment design computer simulation system". Through scanning the body data, the computer program is used to accurately adjust the human body over 1000 parameter data, so as to realize the simulation fitting and achieve the customized effect.

It is understood that compared with the traditional tailoring technology, the 3D garment design computer simulation system presets more than 1000 different body shape parameter data, and divides the human body into 16 characteristics, including head, neck, arms, legs, feet, etc., and then uses laser to scan personal shape data from the front and side, and then extracts 184 main feature points from 300 thousand scanning points as the basis for making digital three-dimensional clothing board.

This technology can match the trend of online clothing sales, let customers input personal shape data, and try online fitting.

< /p >

< p > it can be seen that the application of 3D technology in the garment industry will bring countless possibilities to the future garment industry.
