Finally, The global textile and clothing industry concludes by considering automating textile preforming technology for the mass production of fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites. With its distinguished editor and international team of expert contributors, The global textile and clothing industry: Technological advances and future challenges is an essential guide to key challenges and developments in this industrial sector. Comprehensively examines the implications of technological advancements and the evolving needs of the global market on the textile and clothing industry and considers their role on the future of textile manufacturing The importance of innovation-driven textile research and development and the role of strategic technology roadmapping are thoroughly investigated Recent advances in textile manufacturing technology, including joining techniques, 3D body scanning and garment design and explored in depth

Digitalisation is becoming a standard practice in the fashion industry. Innovation in digital fashion is not just limited to computer-aided design (CAD) and manufacturing (CAM), rather it runs throughout the fashion supply chain, from product life cycle management and developing new business models that promote sustainability to connecting virtual and augmenting reality (VR/AR) with fashion for enhanced consumers experience through smart solutions. Digital Fashion Innovations: Advances in Design, Simulation, and Industry captures the state-of-art developments taking place in this multi-disciplinary field: Discusses digital fashion design and e-prototyping, including 2D/3D CAD, digital pattern cutting, virtual drape simulation and fit analysis. Covers digital human modelling and VR/AR technology. Details digital fashion business and promotion, including application of e-tools for supply chain, e-commerce, block chain technologies, big data, and artificial intelligence (AI). This interdisciplinary book will appeal to professionals working in textile and fashion technology, those developing AR and AI for clothing end uses, and anyone interested in the business of digital fashion and textile design. It will also be of interest to scientists and engineers working in anthropometry for a variety of disciplines, such as medical devices and ergonomics.

Textile design is a complex field of practice which operates in a competitive, global industry. Designers need to take into account not only the design but also the manufacture, technological development and application of the final product. Textile design provides a broad overview of the fundamentals of and advances in textile design, as well as practical case studies of relevant industries. Part one covers the principles of fabric construction as applied to textile design, with chapters on fundamental principles, woven and knitted textile design. Part two discusses surface approaches to textile design, with chapters on such topics as surface design of textiles, printed and embroidered textile design, dyeing and finishing and the use of colour in textile design. Finally, part three focuses on the applications and advances in textile design, including chapters covering colour trend forecasting, sustainable textile design, fashion, interior and 2D to 3D design considerations and new developments in technical and future textiles. With its distinguished editors and international team of contributors, Textile design is an essential reference for design professionals in the textile and fashion industries, as well as those who specialise in interior textiles and academics with a research interest in the area. A broad overview of textile design covering fundamental topics such as principles of fibres and fabrics, knitted fabric design, through to the dyeing, finishing and printing aspects of textile design Explores the design aspects of technical textiles and future textiles An invaluable source of information on textile design and suitable for design professionals in the textile and fashion industries, as well as those in academia

Sustainable Technologies for Fashion and Textiles combines the latest academic research and industrial practices to shed light on a wide range of activities that influence how the textiles industry affects the natural environment. Pressure from regulators, customers and other stakeholders has pressed companies to translate general sustainability concepts and ideas into business practices. This is leading to improvements in how the industry consumes water, electricity and chemicals, and to a reduction in the amount of waste generated by textile processes. This book groups approaches to these topics under four themes, fiber, yarn and fabric production, chemical processing, garment manufacturing and recycling. Addresses sustainability challenges that occur throughout the supply chain, from the sourcing of raw materials, to recycling finished products Provides introductions to sustainability--both in general and within the textiles industry--making this topic accessible for readers of all backgrounds Compares the advantages and disadvantages of different approaches to sustainability, helping readers avoid pitfalls when devising their own strategies

The fusion between fashion, technology and design is more dynamic than ever before and this collaboration has generated original materials and alternative fabrics. Featuring the work of innovative designers, FUTURE FASHION is essential for all those who want to stay on top of the emerging directions in fashion technology and devolpements in textiles and materials.

The expectations we have of the products we buy, including fashion and interior products, are rising all the time. The much heralded area of wearable technology and the incorporation of interactive systems are already commercially available in certain areas. Textiles that can automatically respond to temperature fluctuations, assist with our well being and communicate are all fact. We are also more aware of the environmental impact of textile production, and the steps we can take to minimise problems. These points are some of the influential areas covered in the latest edition of Textile Innovation. In looking at the textile advancements made for medical, industrial, automotive and agricultural use, we aim to inform and inspire our readers and gain an exciting glimpse into what may be possible for garment and interior textile technology in the immediate and more distant future. Suitable for professionals, students and teachers of Fashion, Textile Design and Technology, the book can be photocopied by purchasing institutions. It is liberally illustrated with black and white photographs and diagrams throughout and includes questions on each subject area, an extensive website list, further resource addresses and a comprehensive glossary.
