Section outline


    • Course Duration: 30 hours

    • Course objectives:

      Three-dimensional (3D) virtual prototyping is getting increasingly importance for apparel design. Based on the utilization of 3D CAD simulation, the product development in the clothing industry becomes faster and faster. The integration of 3D CAD systems for garment design leads to higher accurate cloth fitting. During the course the participants will be guided to create the virtual garments from fashion design idea analyzing the principal aspects of 3D simulation by using specific software.
