Defects such as thick places, thin places, neps, hairiness and yarn appearance contribute to the overall yarn uniformity and altogether they define the character of the end product.

The prediction by using intelligent technique of artificial neutral network (ANN).Įlectronic Inspection Board – Hairiness Tester: The spun yarn uniformity has always been an important quality control parameter as it affects the commercial value of the yarn. Although there are many studies related to analysing the migratory properties of spun yarn, there are no study available about predicting yarn migration parameters. When the designer wishes to screen print their images (or part of their images) they will often use the ‘studio master’ software for separating and preparing their screens.Īrtificial neutral network (ANN): The use of artificial neural networks (ANNs) to develop a model of the relation between physical structure and mechanical properties of constituent fibres, but also yarn structure characterised by geometric arrangement of fibres in the yarn body. These images may then be fed directly to the digital printer if appropriate. Print CAD: Most of print designers routinely use Adobe Photoshop and/or Adobe Illustrator to develop their images. It contains: Adobe CS5 suite, Lectra, Kaledo Style illustration software, Modaris pattern drafting, modification and grading software, Diamino marker planning and fabric utilisation software, two large format digitisers and one large format pattern plotter. The software simulates the structure and also produces peg plans and lifting plans for the designer simplifying the weave process and helping to guarantee the intended result.įashion CAD: The fashion CAD suite is specifically dedicated to fashion design, pattern making, lay planning and fashion production. Weave CAD: This is specialist ‘Scotweave’ software that enables the development of complex weave structures. The software also allows designs to be simulated in 3D and printed. This software enables designs to be developed and knitting instructions to be sent to the knitting machines to control production. Knit CAD: In addition to the generic CAD software applicable to all designers, it also has specialist CAD packages for knitwear designers. ES provide powerful tools for solving problems such as design and are very suitable for database manipulation and decision making. ES can be used to diagnose, repair, monitor, analyse, consult, plan, design, instruct, explain, learn and conceptualise problems. The technology of artificial intelligence (AI) and expert system (ES) enables computers to be applied to less determined design tasks, which require symbolic manipulation and reasoning instead of routine processing. One is related to the division of labour and the other to the design variable at play in the practical process of design. There are two important elements from the textile design tradition that will play a role in our further studies of textiles. Fibre, yarn and finishes are the key elements to be considered during the textile design procedure. In other words, textile design is a process from the raw material into finished product. The field encompasses the actual pattern making while supervising the production process. Textile designers are involved with the production of these designs, which are used, sometimes repetitively, in clothing and interior decor items. Textile designers might also specify a dyeing method, or the use of dyes to colour fibres or fabric surfaces to achieve a desired effect. They might suggest types of thread to weave together for a specific look and feel or create patterns that adorn a fabric surface.

Textile designers dream up designs that are woven or knitted into cloth or printed on fabric. Textile design is the process of planning and producing a fabric’s appearance and structure. Textile industries face significant challenges to remain competitive in today’s industry, supplying innovative collections at right price, controlling margins, building customer loyalty and expanding business horizons, says Sneha Ishwar Vaghela.
