Pattern making plays a key role in the aspect of fashion design and
garment production, as it serves as the
transformative process that turns a simple drawing into a consistent
accumulation of garments. The process of creating conventional or manual
patterns requires a significant amount of time and a specialized skill set in
various areas such as grading, marker planning, and fabric utilization. This
study examines the potential of 3D technology and virtual fashion designing
software in optimizing the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of pattern
production processes. The proposed methodology is characterized by a higher
level of comprehensiveness and reliability, resulting in time efficiency and
providing a diverse range of design options. The user is not expected to
possess comprehensive knowledge of traditional pattern creation procedures
prior to engaging in the task. The software offers a range of capabilities
including draping, 3D-to-2D and 2D-to-3D unfolding, fabric drivability
analysis, ease allowance calculation, add-fullness manipulation, style
development, grading, and virtual garment try-on. The strategy will cause a
shift in the viewpoints and methodologies of business professionals when it
comes to the use of 3D fashion design software. Upon recognizing the potential
time, financial, and resource-saving benefits associated with the integration
of 3D technology into their design development process, individuals will be
motivated to select for its utilization over conventional pattern making
methods. Individuals will possess the capacity to transfer their cognitive
processes and engage in introspection regarding their professional endeavors
and current activities through the utilization of 3D virtual pattern-making and
fashion design technologies. To enhance the efficacy and ecological
sustainability of designs, designers have the potential to integrate 3D
technology with virtual fashion software, thereby compliant advantages for both
commercial enterprises and the environment.
