Español1. Soft Hollow Rib 3d Texture Clothing Breathable Jacquard Fabric craftsmanship principle: multi-dimensional interweaving three-dimensional construction
The core principle of 3D texture production is based on the ingenious combination and change of different yarns in multiple dimensions. From the perspective of yarn characteristics, yarns of different colors and thicknesses need to be selected. Color enriches the visual level of texture. For example, when weaving a realistic leaf texture, dark green yarn is used to shape the main body of the leaf, light green to depict the edge of the young leaf, and brown to outline the veins. Through the color transition, the leaves seem to have a natural growth gradient effect. Thick and thin yarns have their own functions. The thicker yarns lay the basic structure of the texture. For example, when constructing a 3D building texture, the thick yarns outline the outline and pillars of the building, giving it a sense of stability; the delicate yarns fill in the details, depict the decorative patterns on the surface of the building, door and window handles and other tiny parts, and enhance the authenticity of the texture.
From the perspective of weaving position, it is crucial to accurately plan the interweaving points of the yarns on the fabric. Taking the weaving of 3D flowers as an example, the thick yarns intersect at the petal outline to determine the shape range of the petals, and at the key parts where the petals overlap or curl, the interweaving positions of different yarns are adjusted to create a front-to-back layered relationship. In the pistil part, the special yarn with luster is precisely interwoven in the center to simulate the eye-catching and texture of the pistil. At the same time, the two dimensions of yarn tension and weaving density work closely together. When weaving a 3D mountain texture with large fluctuations, increase the yarn tension at the peak to shrink the fabric locally, forming a towering and sharp peak effect; reduce the tension in the valley part to let the fabric stretch naturally, presenting an open and gentle feeling. In terms of weaving density, increase the density in the area showing the rocky texture of the mountains to make the texture more compact and prominent; appropriately reduce the density in the hillside part covered with grass to show a soft and fluffy visual experience.
2. 3D process operation process: a meticulous engineering step by step
Design conception and pattern drawing: This is the starting point of 3D technology. Designers conceive 3D texture themes based on clothing styles, target audiences and popular trends. If it is a design for a ladies' evening dress, the elegant Phalaenopsis 3D texture may be chosen. The designer first draws a sketch on paper to determine the overall shape of the Phalaenopsis, the distribution of flowers, the posture of petals, etc., and marks the color and thickness of the yarn suitable for different parts. Then, professional drawing software is used to convert the hand-drawn sketch into an accurate digital pattern, further optimize the texture details, such as the clarity of the petal veins, the three-dimensional sense of the stamens, etc., and set the coordinates and parameters of the yarn interweaving in different areas.
Yarn screening and preparation: Select suitable yarn according to the design plan. Natural fiber yarns such as cotton, linen, and silk can give the texture a natural and simple or smooth and delicate texture, and are often used to express natural elements such as flowers and animal hair; chemical fiber yarns such as polyester and nylon have high strength and can be processed into special luster and shape, which are suitable for creating modern geometric and metallic textures. After determining the type of yarn, pretreatment is carried out, including dyeing and sizing, to ensure that the yarn color meets the design requirements and is not easy to break or deform during the weaving process.
Weaving equipment debugging and programming: Advanced knitting equipment is used, such as computer knitting machines with multiple needle beds and programmable control functions. According to the yarn interweaving coordinates and parameters of the design pattern, the technicians program the knitting machine to accurately control the movement trajectory of each knitting needle to ensure that yarns of different colors and thicknesses are accurately interwoven at the specified position. At the same time, the yarn delivery device is debugged to ensure that the yarn is evenly fed into the knitting area with appropriate tension. For example, when knitting 3D marine biological textures, the yarn tension control device needs to be finely debugged for the swinging part of the fishtail so that the agile effect of the fishtail swing can be perfectly presented.
Weaving process monitoring and adjustment: During the weaving process, the operator closely monitors the operation of the equipment and the formation of the fabric. Observe whether the yarn interweaving is smooth, whether there is any wrong weaving or missing weaving, and if any problems are found, the equipment is suspended in time for adjustment. For example, when weaving 3D facial textures of characters, if the yarn interweaving of the eyes is found to be deviated, the programming parameters are immediately corrected or the knitting needle position is adjusted to ensure that the facial expression is vivid and accurate. At the same time, the overall flatness of the fabric and the three-dimensional sense of the texture are checked in real time, and the yarn tension and weaving density are fine-tuned according to the actual effect.
Finishing and quality inspection: The woven fabric enters the finishing stage, and is first cleaned to remove the slurry and impurities left during the weaving process. Then, functional finishing such as softness and wrinkle resistance is carried out to improve the feel and durability of the fabric. Then, the 3D texture fabric is strictly inspected for quality, including indicators such as texture clarity, three-dimensional strength, color fastness, and yarn bonding strength. For fabrics that do not meet the standards, the reasons are analyzed and remedial measures are taken, such as secondary weaving repair of the blurred texture area.
3. Comparison between 3D technology and traditional jacquard technology: Changes brought about by innovative breakthroughs
The traditional jacquard technology mainly forms patterns by weaving floating long lines on the surface of the fabric. The patterns are mostly flat or have only a slight three-dimensional sense. The 3D technology has achieved a qualitative leap in many aspects. From the visual effect, the traditional jacquard pattern is relatively single, flat, lacking depth and flexible changes; the texture produced by the 3D technology is rich in layers and has a strong three-dimensional sense. There are dynamic light and shadow changes when observed from different angles, such as the 3D flower texture, which seems to be able to see the flowers swaying in the wind. In terms of the complexity of the process, traditional jacquard only needs to control a small amount of yarn to be interwoven at a simple level; 3D technology involves the precise interweaving of a variety of yarns with different characteristics in multiple dimensions, which has extremely high technical requirements for equipment, programming and operators. In terms of fabric applicability, traditional jacquard is often used to make relatively conventional and simple-style clothing; 3D technology can create unique and gorgeous textures, which is more suitable for high-end fashion clothing, creative clothing and customized clothing with extremely high texture requirements.
Fourth, the unique application of 3D technology in various categories of clothing
Women's clothing: In the field of evening dresses, 3D technology can weave textures such as dreamy three-dimensional flowers and smart butterflies, which are decorated on the hem, neckline, and shoulders, instantly enhancing the luxury and artistic atmosphere of the dress. In everyday dresses, 3D leaves and vines spread along the skirt, creating a natural and fresh atmosphere, and with hollow design, showing the feminine softness and elegance. In terms of tops, 3D geometric texture jacquard tops have become the highlight of street wear for fashionistas. The unique texture is matched with personalized tailoring, which can easily create a trendy look.
Men's wear: Business shirts use 3D pinstripes or low-key geometric jacquard patterns, adding exquisite details to the traditional business style, highlighting men's professionalism and taste. Casual T-shirts use 3D technology to create three-dimensional sports brand logos and abstract art patterns to meet men's needs for individuality and comfort during leisure time. The 3D woven imitation leather texture or simple line texture on casual pants enhances the texture of the pants, and paired with sports shoes or casual leather shoes, it shows casual fashion.
Children's wear: The 3D cartoon animal texture on children's tops, such as cute little bears and lively little rabbits, inspires children's love for clothing, and the soft fabric and breathable properties ensure that children are comfortable to wear. The 3D flower and star patterns on children's skirts flash and change with the movements of children when they play, adding joy to childhood. The 3D car and airplane textures on shorts meet the little boy's love for machinery and make children full of energy in sports.
