A digital-integrated solution for a customised 3D design process of garments

Abstract

We live in a digital era in which we have become accustomed to using digital applications to access services or purchase products for daily professional activities, communication/socialisation, or entertainment. The digital transformation of the industry (including the apparel industry) is based on a new approach: the model is developed digitally, presented to the customer, physically manufactured for use and then recorded and made available for purchase on digital platforms. The latter can stimulate connections between customers and manufacturers; in this way, the customer can make specific requests regarding the desired product, and the manufacturer can provide the customer with specific details. Information and communication technologies (ICTs) play a big role in the fashion industry. They are used for the design, production, and distribution of fashion items, communication, and even product co-design. This paper illustrates a method to develop business attire patterns for different professions where a dress code is required (management structures, banking, commercial activities, flight attendants, etc.) by automatically integrating 3D customer data (obtained through a 3D scanning process) and product information. Both product information (dimensions, materials and accessories, manufacturing conditions, e.g.) and information about the customer’s body (size, posture, conformation) can be integrated into the conceptual development phase in a tailored (customised) way. The virtual interactive simulation of the product on the avatar representing the customer (virtual 3D prototyping) makes it possible to assess the appearance of the garment on the human body and whether the design requirements have been met.
