Design automation for customized apparel products

This paper presents solution techniques for a three-dimensional Automatic Made-to-Measure (AMM) scheme for apparel products. Freeform surface is adopted to represent the complex geometry models of apparel . When designing the complex surface of an apparel product, abstractions are stored in conjunction with the models using a non-manifold data structure. Apparel products are essentially designed with reference to human body features, and thus share a common set of features as the human model. Therefore, the parametric feature-based modeling enables the automatic generation of fitted garments on differing body shapes. In our approach, different apparel products are each represented by a specific feature template preserving its individual characteristics and styling. When the specific feature template is encoded as the equivalent human body feature template, it automates the generation of made-to-measure apparel products. The encoding process is performed in 3D, which fundamentally solv...
