Computer Aided Design (CAD) Systems in Textile Manufacturing Industry

In today’s world the Textile Industry are being modernized day by day. Now a day, the designs are used in different textiles manufacturing processes made in CAD.

The Textile Industry which want to stand out from the crowds and which want to be the renowned and reliable one, it must have the CAD system or CAD software in their manufacturing process.
In this post, I will discuss about different area of Textiles where the CAD systems are mostly used. In general CAD used in—

• Textile Design System: Most fabrics, yarn dyes, Plain weaves, jacquards or dobbies can be designed using a CAD.

• Knitted Fabrics: Some systems specialize in knitwear production and final knitted design can be viewed on screen with indication of all stitch formation.

• Printed Fabrics: The print motif can be resized, recolored, rotated or multiples depending on the designer’s goal.  New CAD systems are coming which have built in software to match swatch color to screen color to printer color automatically.

• Sketch Pad Systems: There are graphic program that allow the designer to use pen or styles on electronic pad or tablet thereby creating freehand images which are stored in the computer.

• Embroidery Systems: It requires assigning color and stitch to different parts of the design. Data is fed and multiple head work. Scanned images can be used also.

• Digitizing Systems: It can be done by defining the X, Y co-ordinates of series of selected prints around the pattern.

• Grading Systems: Certain pointes considered as “Growth Points” at which the pattern has to be increased to accommodate different body siz3e like 32/34/36 and so on.

• Marker Making Systems: It ensured minimal wastage of fabric. Striped fabric can be done also.

• Cutting Operations: Automated Cutting machines can be used after direction from marker making.

So, it is said that, the CAD in Textiles are really dominating with it’s exclusive features and efficiency. CAD helps textile designers to make a new design in more efficient way and within shorter time. In every sections of Textile the  Weaving CAD, Printing CAD, Marker Making CAD etc are being used.
