Application and Popularization of Body Packaging-Apparel Design CAD System

1 Computer application and status in the apparel industry

As an important part of human culture, clothing has been constantly changing with the development of social history. Especially in today's rapid development of material civilization, people have higher requirements for their own dress, not only pay attention to comfort and beauty, but also pay attention to unique style. Many varieties, short cycles, and personalization have become the characteristics of today's garment enterprises.

The rise of modern large-scale industries gradually freed the garment industry from the shackles of manual operation and formed large-scale modern production modes. At the same time the introduction of market-oriented, automated, information-based rapid response mechanism, the formation of the design, production, sales, advertising, corporate management as one of the modern comprehensive clothing business management model. The computer technology that was born in the early 60s of this century has become a link between clothing and high technology, which has led the apparel industry to a wider area of ​​development.

Clothing is a very comprehensive process and is the product of a perfect combination of art and technology. In the production process, various arts and technology projects such as aesthetics, materials science, process structure, and machinery are widely involved. Today's rapid development of computer technology, computer technology infiltrates in the clothing industry CAD system, the computer control system of the production line, the enterprise information management system, as well as marketing and personnel training and other departments and links, which undoubtedly led the apparel industry a sense Far-reaching changes.

The application of computers in the field of clothing can be summarized in the following aspects: computer-aided management (MIS-Managcmcnt InformationSysten), computer-aided design (CAD-A Computer Aided De-sign), computer-aided production management (CAM-one-one Computer Aided Management (CAM-A Computer Aided Manufacturing). This article focuses on computer-aided design and clothing CAI.

2 Apparel CAD Technology Status and Principle

In the production and production of clothing, design plays a key role. In today's rapid development of science and technology in the information age, the popularity of fashion has evolved toward fashion, personalization, innovation, and change. Therefore, the status and role of apparel design in apparel companies is increasingly important. Since the CAD system was developed successfully in the United States in the early 1970s, its application and development have played an important role in changing the level of apparel design in today's world. At the same time, it has great significance for improving design efficiency. Its importance has been for the vast number of apparel designs. The consensus is that garment companies in Europe and the United States and other developed countries have generally adopted them and are gradually being valued and promoted in China. At present, CAD systems with great influence and characteristics in the international market include the American AM-5 system and Accumark system of the United States. Besides Cierber in the United States, the production companies include Modacad in the United States, Toray in Japan, Sima Seiki in France, and Lectra in France. There are aerospace AR1SA apparel design systems that have greater domestic influence. With regard to the current level of development of garment CAD, the computer-aided design system has entered into every stage of the garment manufacturing process, each process.

The garment design CAD system is a computer-based control system consisting of software and hardware. Software is a computer program specially designed for apparel design applications. It also includes related image processing software such as photoShop, paint, and graphic software such as corel Draw. Hardware includes system host, graphics input and output devices. Input devices include scanners, digital cameras, digitizers, and output devices such as printers and plotters. Designers use the corresponding software to design, and complete the clothing structure renderings, according to the structure of the renderings for the rendering of the effect of the drawing. After the sample design system is used for proofing, the work of grading and placing materials is performed, and the work is output for the next process.

In the CAD system of fashion design, the style design system is also the focus. At present, the software in this area is not very professional, and there is no overall strong software, but through the above-mentioned several images, graphics and three-dimensional The software is designed. These software provide a variety of drawing tools and image processing capabilities, allowing designers to make as much as they wish; while providing a large color library, as well as convenient and flexible color modulation capabilities, designers can be based on a very short period of time. Need to complete the color match, and easy to modify until you get the best results, as worth mentioning is that with the development and improvement of three-dimensional graphics software, the computer can simulate a variety of real materials, and human models, and match Environmental factors and lighting, in the simulation of the camera, rendering realistic effects, visually reproduce the designer's intentions.

The use of computers for style design creation can free us from cumbersome manual production. Its high efficiency has greatly shortened the creative cycle, and its accuracy is beyond the reach of traditional craftsmanship. In short, it provides us with a great creative space and is an indispensable creative tool for modern fashion designers.

3 Computer application trends in the apparel industry

The development of computer technology can be described as a rapid development, and the apparel industry is an industry extremely sensitive to information, especially the development and popularization of information networks, so that clothing companies and fashion designers are facing an all-round open information era. Trends and trends in the market are important information for fashion designers and manufacturers. Therefore, clothing information databases, network information exchange, and telecommunications technologies are increasingly valued by designers and manufacturers.

Modern multimedia concepts are new technologies that integrate graphics, text, sound, and images. The compression technology of image and sound in the multimedia field is used to build a huge library of clothing design information so that the information can be stored in a digital form, which is beneficial for designers and producers to easily and quickly consult. In addition, multimedia technology can also be used to develop graphic design, text, sound, and masculine clothing design teaching software, in order to cultivate costume designers to open up new teaching models.

At present, from the clothing fitting system, style design to sample design, the mathematical model of the two-dimensional plane is used. With the improvement of the conformity and comfort of the clothing, the change of the clothing style is accelerated, together with the computer hardware technology. Development has made 3D garment technology an important research direction.

With the concept of computer integrated manufacturing CI1kSS proposed, garment CAD technology will break the state of mutual isolation, so that design, production, to a fully automated and modern direction.

We have every reason to believe that in the near future, a more professional and efficient clothing SAD software system will appear in the apparel industry. This requires the garment industry to constantly innovate and change, using modern high-tech means, so that it can be intense. Market competition is invincible.
