AHFE Open AccessThe Digitalization of Knitwear: Towards a redefinition of the conventional design boundaries
Abstract
In the contemporary context, the knitting industry is dealing with a scarcity of 3d simulation tools, resulting, to date, in a sampling-based method where refinements to a specific design are often abandoned or compromised. While, in other design fields, virtual 3d modeling profitably interacts with hard-ware technology (e.g., 3d printers) [1], such tools do not easily connect to the conventional textile technology of industrial knitting machines [2].This paper explores the state of the art of knitted textiles digitalization, aiming to outline practical support to knitwear design practice with a specific focus on pos-sible digital tools to integrate design and fabrication prerogatives.
