The Swiss Textile School relies on 3D technology for product development
The future is now: The fashion industry is now also relying on 3D technology in product development. It promises time and material savings with improved quality and offers endless creative possibilities.
The STF follows the sustainable future trend and is
introducing virtual product development with the latest technology on 3D
avatars from the autumn semester.
Initial samples ensure that items of clothing will later appeal and fit. While the creation in Haute Couture or "Made to Measure" is lovingly handcrafted and true to detail on the customer, it is already carried out in industrial product development today using 3D simulation.
That needs energy for the transport and raw materials, since
the returned goods have to be cleaned and repackaged. In some cases, it would
even be destroyed directly because it would be too expensive to process,
according to Stöhr. Avalution requirements to reduce the number of returns by
allowing the customer to try on the clothes online, thus avoiding selection
orders. For this, the customer should receive a digital copy of their body - a
three-dimensional mirror image, also known as an avatar in the digital world.
He should be able to try on the clothes online and see which size is the right
one and whether the piece fits his own figure.
The uncomplicated experimentation with new materials, colors
and cuts is just as possible with the 3D process as the fast creation of
countless design variants. This saves both time and money.
There are no limits to inspiration: the innovative display
technology simulates material properties and the movement of the avatars
realistically. Even backgrounds and lighting conditions can be specified. Many
big brands are already presenting and selling up to 50% of their collection
items virtually to resellers.
Starting in the autumn semester, the students of the
Bachelor (Hons) Fashion Design & Technology course in pattern and product
development will not only use the traditional manual method and the CAD system,
but also simulations on the 3DAvatar on the curriculum. With this innovation,
the STF remains on an innovative course as an educational institute.
