Tailoring the computer

Tomorrow's designers did not create clothes with scissors , thread the needle , but with the computer . At the Hanover Fair presented a method that is used today in large denominations enterprise .

In the clothing industry knives , needles and molds belong to the past . The designers create their collections today in computer simulation software . " This is a complex thing , which of course is quite different from that of steel , or other materials ," explains Jörn KOHLHAMMER from the Fraunhofer Institute for processing graphic data in Darmstadt . " Textiles have their structure. Depending on how it is woven , or elasticity , which has a fabric hang molding , or otherwise pull during movement . "

From each thread to all fabrics

At the Hanover Fair informaticieni shows how he and his colleagues have developed a method that is used today in large denominations enterprise . In order that all seem much more natural stofrave particular simulation starts from the beginning , which is braided . " There is a great difference if I forward an xhinsi piece , or a piece of silk ," says KOHLHAMMER and monitor touches the corner of a wrapper . Then he moves the cursor over the fabric shuffle , the corrugate , collects and moves , as it was in reality .
