Computer technology plays an important role throughout the apparel manufacturing process. It is used for design and pattern making through CAD software like Lectra and Optitex. 3D prototyping allows for virtual sampling to get buyer feedback faster. CAM systems control cutting and spreading machines. CIM integrates information between production, sampling, accounting and other departments. Overall, computerization reduces time and errors, improves quality, and increases flexibility, innovation and information sharing across the industry.

- 1. Use of Computer in Apparel Industry Course Teacher Mohammad Ashraful Alam
- 2. Introduction The textile and apparel industry comprises a complex network of interrelated sectors that produce fibers, spin yarns, fabricate cloth, and dye/finish/print and manufacture apparel. Computer technology is one of the most important tools contributing to the significant advancement of this industry, contributing from design making to the delivery of the end product.
- 3. Applications of Computer in Apparel Manufacturing Modern Computer Technologies Designing 3D Prototyping Spreading Cutting Industrial Engineering Selling
- 4. Available computer technologies Examples of computer systems used in the textile and apparel industry include: Computer Aided Administration (CAA) – computers are used for marketing, sales order processing and stock control. Computer Aided Design (CAD) – computers are used for developing designs, pattern making, pattern grading, marker production and lay planning. Computer Aided Manufacture (CAM) – computers are used for store design, lay planning and cutting, sewing and pressing. Computer Integrated Manufacture (CIM) – a system that uses computers at every stage of planning, design and manufacture. Electronic Point-of-Sale (EPOS) – a computerised system that speeds up sales transactions and monitors stock levels.
- 5. Computer in Designing….. Basic sketch using design software CAD for Pattern as well as marker
- 6. Lets take a close look of CAD and CAM CAD ( Computer Aided Design): -to aid the product design from conceptualization to documentation - creation - modification -analysis -optimization CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing): -planning -manufacturing - control
- 7. Looks like • ArchitecturalEngineering • CivilEngineering
- 8. Continue……. CAD software used in Apparel Industry Lectra Optitex Gerber Tukatech CLO
- 9. CAD for Apparel industry • Plotting • Spreading • Cutting • Sewing/Assembling • Surface ornamentation
- 10. Optitex • 1. O/DEV • APPLICATION: • For 2D design and 3D visualization modules in a single platform to create, tailor and digitize patterns. • 2. O/PRO • APPLICATION: Contains tools for product development such as marker making, cut plan and automatic nesting. • 3. O/SEL • APPLICATION: Used in solutions for sales and marketing, such as using 3D images for viewing and buying collections. • The current module is the OPTITEX Digital Collection, an online app to view full 3D collections.
- 11. Gerber Technology OMEGA CP 6.0 • Design and production software. It is used to take design ideas through to high-quality output using cut- vinyl or digital imaging. • EDGE FXTM • Thermal Printer for printing designs. ART-Path &Auto-Curve • Used in flatbed cutting system
- 12. Lectra and Diamino •Used in cutting patterns for clothing. •Grading •Used for marker making
- 13. More… • By using technology in Apparel Industry we can perform many other important things: – LASER scanning – 3D body scanning – 3D body simulation – Image processing All these things help to make our product much better. These things will be clear in the next segment.
- 14. 3D body scanning technology • Leaser Scanning • White light scanning • Image processing scanning • Milimeter-wave rader • Digital tape measurment
- 15. Laser scanning • Leaser to project on to human body one or more thin & sharp stripes simultaneously • Light sensor acquires the scans & by applying simple geometrical rules the surface of human is measured • The leaser scanner unit which is composed of the leaser ,the optical system & light sensor is moved across the human body is digitize to surface
- 16. In Which machine CAD CAM is Used? • Plotter Machine • Automatic Fabric Spreading Machine • Computerized Multi-PlyFabric Cutting Machines • Computerized single- PlyFabric Cutting Machines • Yin Cad Photo Digitizer EN v.X9
- 17. 3D Prototyping in Sampling…… Conventional sampling method has been shifted towards a change and now-a-days 3D Prototyping is used in sampling section using 3D CAD software. 3D CAD is the communication bridge between the buyer & the designer as buyer is allowed to give immediate feedback. Apparel industry is benefited as less time is required for sampling approval. No need of Color sample and Size set sample in terms of 3D prototyping.
- 18. CAM for Spreading and Cutting Section Fullyautomatic Cutting Machine: Therearealot of advantages of this machine to make fabric lay. Because,this spreading machine is operated by controlling with the help of micro processor androbot.
- 19. Continue….. Computerized Methods Of Fabric Cutting Computer controlled knife cutting Cutting by Laser beam Cutting by Water jet Cutting by Plasma torch
- 20. Computer in Industrial Engineering Department….. •Used for recording day to day reports. •Used in Unit Production system. •Used for workplace Layout Designs. •Used for different calculations.
- 21. Computer in Selling Electronic Point-of-Sale (EPOS) – a computerized system that monitors warehouse and retail stock levels. Retailing shops in worlds most recognized fashion cities use 3D body Scanning for attracting consumers towards new fashion products and giving immediate feedback to the manufacturing industries either to go for the bulk production or not for that style.
- 22. CIM (Computer Integrated Manufacturing) A system that uses computers at every stage of planning, design and manufacture. Transferring information between various sections of the industry such as between Production floor, Sampling section, Accounting, Human Resource department, Merchandising department or so on.
- 23. Benefits of Computerized Technologies….. • Reduction of processing time. • Reduction of manpower required. • Increase flexibility. • Increase Product Quality. • Maintaining Buyer Lead time. • Innovating newer design. • Rapid Information Transfer. • Increase Buyer Morale.
