System and method for establishing a junction trace of an assembly
A system for establishing a junction trace of an assembly includes a surface model creating module, a processing module, and a material inspection module. The assembly includes a first part and a second part assembled with each other. The surface model creating module scans the first part and the second part to separately establish first surface model data and second surface model data. The processing module establishes assembled surface model data according to the first surface model data and the second surface model data, determines a junction region from the assembled surface model data, and determines inspection points mapped on the assembly according to the junction region. The material inspection module inspects materials of the assembly at the inspection points. The processing module establishes a junction trace of the first part and the second part in the assembly according to a material inspection result.
Technique of Laser Finishing Jeans and Other Apparel
Software and lasers are used in finishing apparel to produce a desired wear pattern or other design. A technique includes determining a fabric's response to a laser, capturing an initial image of a wear pattern on a garment, and processing the initial image to obtain a working image in grayscale. The working image is further processed to obtain a difference image by comparing each pixel relative to a dark reference. The difference image is converted to a laser values image by using the previously determined fabric response to the laser.
Using fabric templates to obtain multiple finishes by laser finishing
Laser finishing of apparel products allows an operating model that reduces finishing cost, lowers carrying costs, increases productivity, shortens time to market, be more reactive to trends, reduce product constraints, reduces lost sales and dilution, and more. Improved aspects include design, development, planning, merchandising, selling, making, and delivering. The model uses fabric templates, each of which can be used to produce a multitude of laser finishes. Operational efficiency is improved.

Generating personalized exosuit designs
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for generating personalized exosuits. In some implementations, sensor data indicating a three-dimensional shape of stretchable template garment while the template garment is worn by a person and has been stretched to align with the person's anatomy is obtained. The template garment can include indicators corresponding to positions for components of an exosuit, and can correspond to an exosuit design. The sensor data is analyzed to determine locations of the indicators of the template garment. A personalized exosuit design is generated for the person by adjusting a computer model for the exosuit design to locate components of the exosuit at regions corresponding to the identified locations of the indicators of the template garment. The personalized exosuit design is provided to one or more manufacturing devices.
Triangle quilting template
The Triangle Quilting Template is a template utilized by quilters to fabricate triangularly-shaped quilting blocks. The Triangle Quilting Template comprises two templates: a trapezoid shaped template and a template with a triangular shape. A quilter utilizes the templates to cut three trapezoid-shaped fabric pieces from the trapezoid-shaped template and a single fabric piece with a triangular shape from the template with a triangle shape. These four fabric pieces are sewn together to create a unique triangle-shaped quilting block. A number of triangle-shaped quilting blocks may be sewn together to create a quilt.
