Study of Three-Dimensional Self-Forming on Elastic Woven Fabric

For seamless fashion via the jacquard weaving, three dimensional forms for silhouettes of garments are critical research areas. Basic principles of three-dimensional weaving originate from manufacturing of apparel. Darts, tucks, and gathers are common approaches to changes of sectional areas. 3D forms are usually achieved by cutting and sewing darts or pleats. In this paper, three-dimensional forms of one layer elastic fabric is to process a mono-layer fabric into some three-dimensional forms via the relative decrease and increase of partial areas on a piece of jacquard woven textile. This paper reports the basic principle and theoretical model for 3D form predicting. The experimental samples via jacquard basically coincided with the theoretical estimates.
