An overall process of providing information needed for a circular loom to produce articles of clothing on demand is disclosed. Initially body data or measurements are generated for a person by scanning with a camera or other image capture device or estimated based on user-input body parameters. Measurements are extracted from the body data which are then processed with linear regression and other parameter extraction techniques. The extracted measurements are then processed. The resulting panel shapes are used to automatically produce the article of clothing as woven output with the loom.

A circular loom for continuously weaving fabric with a varying diameter includes a variable diameter weaving ring, independently actuated heddles, and at least one shuttle including a weft insertion arm attached to a linear rail system configured to adjust the position of weft insertion arm based on a diameter of weaving ring. An associated method includes varying the diameter of weaving ring, independently actuating heddles and adjusting the position of weft insertion arm along linear rail system to continuously produce hollow textile products having variable diameters.
