CAD IN GARMENT

INDUSTRY
-By Ambily.I.P
Introduction
• Computers have influenced every sphere of our life in one
way or other.
• Computers are making human life easier and
comfortable.
• Computers are helping to design, analyse and manufacture the
product with short span of time in engineering applications.
• A computer is a fast and accurate data manipulating system that is
designed to automatically accept and store input data.
• Process them and produce output results under the directions of a
stored program.
• Computer is a tool to increase productivity in many aspects of our
life.
CAD
• Computer-aided design (CAD) is the use of computer
systems to assist in the creation, modification, analysis, or
optimization of a design.
• CAD software is used to increase the productivity of the
designer, improve the quality of design, improve
communications through documentation, and to create a
database for manufacturing.
• CAD output is often in the form of electronic file for print,
machining, or other manufacturing operations.
• Commonly used software used for CAD are AUTO CAD,
MSVISIO, Smart Draw etc.
CAM
• Computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) is the use of
computer software to control machine tools and related
machinery in the manufacturing of work pieces.

• CAM may also refer to the use of a computer to assist in


all operations of a manufacturing plant, including
planning, management, transportation and storage
CAD
• The term CAD/CAM implies that an engineer can use the system
both for designing a product and for controlling manufacturing
processes.
• CAD is broad term used to represent use of computer in designing.
CAM is term that denotes the computerized control of
manufacturing process.
• Almost all industry sectors are using CAD in their designing
departments. CAD can help to draw textile designs for textile
industry.

We should not confuse CAD only with drawings. CAD covers many
aspects of designing like design calculations, data analysis and
simulations.
•
USES OF CAD
CAD software is used in the textile industry:
• Helps designers draw accurately.
• You can see the products in 3D.
• You can rotate the design and view it from all angles.
• To make changes and modifications quickly and easily.
• To experiment with different patterns, textures and colour
ways.
• To develop basic or standardised designs.
• To improve the quality of the design.
• To use simulations to test the design.
Phases of cad
• CAD actually encompasses all those activities of product
design cycle with converts a workable concept into a ready to
manufacture product specifications. The various sections are:
• Geometrical Model
• Design and Analysis
• Design Optimization
• Drafting and Documentation
CAD Software
• CAD software is used to increase the productivity of the
• designer, improve the quality of design, improve
• communications through documentation, and to create a
• database for manufacturing.
• Originally software for Computer-Aided Design systems was
• developed with computer languages such
• as FORTRAN, ALGOL but with the advancement
• of object-oriented programming methods this has radically
• changed.
• Auto CAD: Explore and visualize 2D/3D concepts with a
• powerful set of intuitive design tools.
• Real CAD Pro: It is all purpose 2D/3D CAD software for
• full 3D modelling, rendering, and 2D drafting in one
• inexpensive solution.
• Rhino3D: It is the best tool for opening, editing, fixing and
• converting 3D files of almost any type, as well as being a
• brilliant 3D modeller in its own right.
• Iron CAD: It is the productivity leader when it comes to
• moving creative ideas into full 3D reality.
• PRISM: It allows the editing of shades of colours on the
• printer and makes a calibration according to the original
• colour & colour on the screen.
• COLOUR TEX: It creates realistic simulation of fabric
• created in colour weave. It is possible to create a wide variety
• of yarns of all material and types.
• MODARIS: Garment Sector.
• TUKACAD (TUKATECH): Garment Sector.
• LECTRA: Used in garment sector mostly for pattern making
Grading and designing.
• REACH CAD (REACH TECHNOLOGY INDIA): Garment
Sector.
• OPTITEX PDS (pattern design system) - Garment Sector.
• AUDACES APPAREL (VELCO GARMENT..
• GT RESOURCES: Garment Sector.
Computerized body measuring
system
• Various body measuring system have been developed since
1980’s.
• These automatic systems operate by using scanning or
photographic equipment linked to a computer.
• Some of the body scanning machines are:
• LASS-Loughborough anthropometric shadow scanner.
• Wicks and Wilson’s Triform Scanner.
• SYMCAD,etc.
Cad in textile designing
These pictures show a range of
fabric patterns and body forms
with the colour range of the
product. This is completed using a
CAD programme
The computer screen
images show the
process of a CAD
drawing that will
eventually be used on
a multi headed CAM
embroidery machine
2D to 3D pattern design technique
CAD in Pattern Making
• Pattern can be designed in two ways using
Richpeace, Gerber, Lectra software

• Two methods are direct and formula method


Computerized Grading

Patterns initially are made in only one size.


In order to produce clothing that fits various body types and
sizes, the pattern pieces must be increased or decreased
geometrically to create a complete range of sizes.
Computerised Grading

• The process of resizing the initial pattern is called "grading."


For example, the sample size 10 patterns must be made larger
to accommodate sizes 12, 14 and 16 and smaller for sizes 8
and 6.
• Pattern grading is the scaling of a pattern to a different size by
implementing important points of the pattern using an
algorithm in the clothing and footwear industry.
Computerised Grading
• What is the purpose of grading clothing patterns?

The purpose of grading is to proportionally increase or


decrease the size of a pattern, while maintaining shape, fit,
balance, and scale of the garment.
Computerized marker making system

• CAD technology can easily digitize their existing hard


patterns into automated digitizing system
• The better the layout is, the less fabric is consumed.
• Reduce labor and material costs. (connect to various other
systems)
Cad in spreading

• CAD (Gerber) technology helps in cutting machines automated


material spreading with perfectly aligned edges
• Accurately aligns and eliminate loss with optimizing the
material utilization (Nest parts closer to the beginning, end
and edges of the spread, eliminating end loss )
• Easy to operate (Automatic &easy to load & unload roll
candles )
CAD in cutting

• cutting machine automatically cuts out the pieces following the lay plan.
It cuts the fabric quickly and accurately using vertical knives, high
pressure water jets or lasers. Many layers can be cut out at once which
means less labour costs and more efficiency
• Quick, accurate set-up and self-adjusting which allow operators to start
cutting faster and with greater efficiency
• Less time consuming & increase production
