Hey everyone,
This is my last post here on the blog and the last weeks has passed really fast. My last day at my internship at [a]industri was two weeks ago and since then I have focused on the final report and final presentation, which I had today.
The focus in my report is digital 3D design and how this can contribute to a more sustainable product development process. I conducted the study as a case study at [a]industri, which uses digital 3D design in the design of the garments they produce for their different clients. Digital 3D design can be described as digital software programs that allow virtual prototypes to be created and visualisations of garments to be seen digital in 3D. Different simulation techniques can then be used in the program to see and adjust colours, fit, patterns, fabrics, design etc. in 3D.
Some of the findings presented in the report are that fewer physical samples need to be produced and shipped when using digital 3D design, resulting in a consumption of textile materials and fewer emissions from shipments. Further benefits are that the fabric waste in the final cutting can be estimated from pattern pieces through all design adjustments and that creative experiments can occur without using any physical materials.
Some identified challenges with working with digital 3D design are however that digital skills are necessary, physical hand feel and examination are lost as well as to trust that the digital program creates as realistic garment visualizations as possible. These challenges therefore need to be taken into consideration when engaging in digital 3D design.
To end this post, I wish you the best of luck with your reports and upcoming presentations. As I had my presentation today, the summer break has just started and I will enjoy it to the fullest and hope that you will to.
Here is a photo of a digital 3D garment,
cool how real it looks right?
