On-line QC Expert System for High Quality Garment Manufacturing
Recently, the importance of QC (quality control) in high quality garment manufacturing is getting higher. Also, as on-line communication systems based on Internet, LAN, etc. rapidly introduced to apparel companies, traditional QC systems te...
An Integrative Process for Design and Development of Functional Appare
Effective development of functional apparel products, such as protective apparel, requires a holistic approach and an in-depth analysis of design requirements. Typically, a vast number of competing requirements must be addressed. The design...
Garment Pattern Design Based on Human Body’s Anthropometric Data
Today there are numerous developments of 3D body scanners in the world, all aiming at achieving better garment fit for diverse consumers. However, optimum fit cannot be achieved without establishing the relationship between the fit design a...
Changes of Physical and Low-stress Mechanical Properties of Garments with Wrinkle-free Treatment after Repeated Launderings
For hygiene reasons, garments need to be washed. Garments should therefore have the durability against washing. The effects of washing on the properties and performance of fabrics were investigated by a number of previous workers. Hurren et...
Computational Simulation of Clothing Mechanical Behavior With An Improved Particle Model
This paper reports the development of an improved particle model to simulate cloth mechanical behavior. A particle model of square meshes, which is close to the orthotropic structure of woven fabric, is used to represent the cloth. Besides...
3D-Drape Measurement of Apparel Fabrics and its Correlation with Subjective Appearance Evaluation
Definition and measurement of drape co-efficient using the Cusick Drapemeter does not reflect the elegance of drape. Fabric samples with different hanging appearance are found to have same drape coefficient. Therefore, a new method of measu...
Assessing TQM tools for Introducing Continuous Quality Improvement in Apparel Industry
The implementation of Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) can not be successful without using suitable quality management tools: methods, techniques and instruments (MTI-s). MTI-s play a key role in a company-wide approach to continuos imp...
