This paper outlines a 3D graphic environment to design and simulate men garments according to fabric properties and manufacturing processes. The aim is to permit the design in 3D of men base garments, in particular jackets, together with evaluation of their styles and automatic generation of 2D patterns from the 3D representation. 3D garment design has been based on the use of MAYA? (Alias/Wave...

Compression garments for the lower limb were tested in two groups--general support garments and anti-embolism supports. A total of 98 patients was examined. The method used was by the interposition of partly fluid-filled pressure sensors between garment and skin. A combination of roller bandage with shaped tubigrip (SBB--Seton) and Sigvaris stockings afforded effective pressure in the general s...

The article considers the process of formalisation automation design garments by introducing author’s method constructing basic basis drawing shoulder garments. In order to develop curves structure, an analytical using spline interpolation third-order polynomials is proposed.

Textile logistic warehouses are highly automated mechanized places where control points are needed to count and validate the number of garments in each batch. This paper proposes and describes a low cost and small size automated system designed to count the number of garments by processing an image of the corresponding hanger hooks generated using an array of phototransistors sensors and a line...

The purpose of this study is to design and evaluate a single-layer garment that incorporates different textiles to improve the physiological comfort of backpackers hiking in cold weather conditions. The objectives are to identify comfort needs, to design a prototype shirt, and to evaluate comfort and performance of the prototype over time, in comparison to a control. Qualitative data were colle...

Currently, most of the nation's 34,000 commercial drycleaners use perchloroethylene (PCE or perc) as a solvent to clean garments. Since 1992, in response to growing health and environmental concerns about perc, EPA has been working in a voluntary partnership with the drycleaning industry to reduce exposures to perc. EPA's DfE Garment and Textile Care Program (GTCP) encourages professional cloth...
