Virtual Couture: Innovations in Clothing Design with 3D Technology

The 3D simulation of clothing design (3DS) is the process of textile fabrics that requires efficient mechanical simulation models to replicate their nonlinear mechanical properties. Developing 3D digital models allows pattern designers to inspect and experiment with them before creating physical prototypes. The main challenge comes from the multifunctionality of clothing simulation attributes. Computer-aided design (CAD) software enables designers to draw ideas, create patterns, model clothing, and customize according to specific body types and needs. The potential of CAD in fashion design makes design more inclusive and ecologically responsible. Therefore, in the proposed method, 3D simulation-assisted computer-aided design (3DS-CAD) has been used by manufacturers. Compared with traditional 3D manual pattern development, manufacturers can simulate the fit and behavior of clothing in a virtual environment, enhance visualization, and accelerate design iteration. CAD system is a software that helps create textile components, such as printed surface patterns and clothing. This system uses specialized computer software to generate, modify, analyze, and optimize designs. This program improves the efficiency of fashion designers by enhancing design quality. With the help of modern technologies such as 3D body scanners and virtual clothing simulation software, it is ensured that clothing perfectly fits the virtual human model in 3D space. Due to the trend of customization, clothing manufacturing can be completed faster and more accurately.
