Pattern Making System For Men's Upper Wear

The conventional garment pattern making is a time consuming hard work, very depending on the pattern makers'experiences. Recently, although the pattern making can be accelerated by using the apparel CAD systems, the pattern makers'experience still can not be substituted for.In this thesis, the relationship between the man's upper body form and the rules of men's upper wear pattern design were investigated, and an automatic pattern making system was developed based on it.Firstly, by analyzing men's body forms, the characteristic measures to describe the feature of each body form were found out.Secondly, through the analysis on the correlativity between the characteristic measures and paper patterns, the method of curve drawing, and the influence of body motion on the patterns, the rules of the basic pattern model for men's upper wear were established.Finally, the relationship between men's upper wear styles and the corresponding patterns was analyzed, and thus the automatic pattern making system was developed.
