What is auto cad?
1. A Computer-Aided Design & Drafting (CADD) tool designs for interior design, architecture and engineering.
2. More and more clothing manufacturers are using AutoCAD as it is affordable, running on PCs and is a multipurpose tool.
Auto cad in apparel industry ?
AutoCAD is a vector-based drawing, all the drawing is based on X, Y co-ordinate (2D or 3D).
It is highly accuracy, ability to work in full scale (zoom in/out), rework design ideas and make changes instantly.
Ability to make complex calculations. (after all, all design in AutoCAD is based on mathematics formula)
Application Area?
Sketch: It is a conceptual process, art work for design purpose.
Pattern making: A technical drawing with measurements, seam allowance for garment making
Grading Patterns: A modification of pattern making for different sizes based on grading rules
Making Markers: A process to arrange all fabric pieces (front/back/sleeve) with different sizes (S/M/L/XL) on cutting table for cutting
FAQ
Discuss how AutoCAD can be applied in these four areas (sketching, pattern making, grading and marker making) in Clothing Production

Full Size Sketch/Design can be made by AutoCAD
Modification of sleeve based on AutoCAD
All drawing in AutoCAD is based on mathematics. All cut piece areas
Are calculated immediately and maximum fabric utilization

Marker Making process.
First arrange the large piece on the cutting table.
Second arrange the small piece to fill in the gap

Guess the fabric utilization based on circles in this drawing?
AutoCAD calculates the area of each circle and subtract it from the total area of cutting table.
The utilization in this example is 78%
I think those descriptions will be helpful for me. Cause I try to begin to learn autocad myself. thanks for article
ReplyDeleteIndeed, CAD in garments industry is being used for consumption with 98% accuracy and for marker making as well as grading. Ok to follow
