Features: The fundamental human need for clothing ensures that the fashion industry is always an indispensable sector of the national economy. This traditional industry, rooted in history, must also look to the future. The duality and unity of contradictions between the old and the new are the driving force behind its enduring existence, while the continuous advancement of productivity through the cyclical interplay of backwardness and progress is the fundamental law governing its growth and development. This book focuses on the computer methods for fashion design and structural design. It is composed of three technical sections: the principles of fashion design and structural design methods, computer methods for fashion design and structural design, and the application practice of domestic fashion CAD software. It relies on advanced CAD technology but takes a starting point that is accessible and applicable to general readers. A key feature of this book is its ability to integrate fashion design, which traditionally belongs to different disciplines and targets aesthetic modeling, and structural design, which focuses on a collection of pattern pieces, into a single technical field using the same technical means for expression and implementation. This approach is quite rare in existing fashion design literature.
