Abstract

The clothing industry is a sector that deals with the design, production, and sale of wearable products. New fashion trends, new technologies, and available materials directly affect the final product delivered. In recent years, more and more consumers purchase their clothes online, causing many changes in the way clothes are sold. This study presents an algorithm for automatically designing a three-dimensional (3D) garment, based on a handwritten sketch of the end user. The process consists of four main stages: (a) the user design with respect to the shape and style of the garment, (b) the 3D scanning3D scanning of the customer’s body, (c) the use of the algorithm to create a 3D garment based on both the two-dimensional sketchingsketching design and the 3D scanning data, and (d) the fabrication of the final 3D garment using a 3D printer. One of the main issues of this application is to integrate the end-user involvement into the garment designgarment design process. In this way, the final garment is unique and based on its aesthetic and dimensional requirements. At the end of the study, an evaluation of the model was carried out using the dimensions of a physical mannequin. The final prototype was manufactured with a 3D printer successfully fitting the body’s curves.
