Considerate Design – Personalised Knitwear
Seamless garment knitting for comfort and personalised fit utilising advanced knitting technology. Led by Prof.Sandy Black and Dr.Penelope Watkins , this project addresses the use of 3D body scan data for extraction of precise body measurements and translation into 2D CAD design systems integrated with industrial knitting machines. Its final aim is the direct 3D production of seam free knitwear with enhanced fit and customisation. The issue of sustainability is addressed, by producing individual garments on demand and by choosing wool as a sustainable and versatile product that will be responsibly sourced, for comfort and performance . The project will develop personalised fashion through the design development of upper body garments utilising stitch construction through designs using Stoll machinery.
