Introduction Laser is being used in apparel industry from ninenteenth century. Recently the use of laser in apparel industry is increasing in cutting garment patterns, patterning designer neckties, 3D body scanning, denim fading and engraving leather (Nayak and Khandual 2010; Istook and Hwang 2001; Simmons and Istook 2003; Ortiz-Morales et al. 2003; Ozguney 2007; Bahtiyari 2011). The major reas...

Attempts to automate the sewing process of garment manufacturing have employed substitutes for human guidance of fabric into somewhat conventional sewing machines. A new approach has been proposed and partially verified in prototype form. It consists of several subsystems responsible for 1) gross fabric motion, 2) precision detection of the fabric location and 3) exact placement of the needle i...

Underlying fabrics can change the appearance, function and quality of the garment, and also add so much longevity of the garment. Nowadays, with the increasing use of various types of fabrics in the garment industry, their resistance to bagging is of great importance with the aim of determining the effectiveness of textiles under various forces. The current paper investigated the effect of unde...

This paper addresses the problem of computing planar patterns for compression garments. In the garment industry, the compression garment has been more and more widely used to retain a shape of human body, where certain strain (or normal pressure) is designed at some places on the compression garment. Variant values and distribution of strain can only be generated by sewing different 2D patterns...

One of the most important factors leading to competition in the global trade has been the need for technology adoption. Gaining an upper hand in the competitive quota free world trade became an important driving force for garment manufacturing firms to adopt technologies. However, not much research has been done on the technology adoption of companies, particularly in the garment manufacturing ...

In order to meet the application requirements of the textile and garment industry, the three-dimensional garment simulation usually requires different features of the human body to show the effect of wearing such clothing as well as three-dimensional fitted and so on. This paper takes into account the practical application of a new method for parameterized mannequin modeling. Determining the ch...

In this paper we will present a system to use three dimensional computer graphics in garment design. This system is capable to visualize the “real”, i.e. the physically correct, appearance of a knitted fabric. A fast visualization of a physically correct micro-structure garment is of crucial importance in textile industry, since it enables fast and less expensive product development. This syste...

Measuring supply chain performance is very necessary for a company, however, it is more important to identify the proper indicators based on which the performance can be evaluated. The paper benchmarks the performance measurement metrics which has been further validated by measuring the performance of garment companies in India. The analysis provides the importance of inventory turnover (ITR) a...

INTRODUCTION This study examines the effects of high-visibility garment design on daytime pedestrian conspicuity in work zones. Factors assessed were garment color, amount of background material, pedestrian arm motion, scene complexity, and driver age. METHOD The study was conducted in naturalistic conditions on public roads in real traffic. Drivers drove two passes on a 31-km route and indic...
