TC 202 — Browzwear Computerized Pattern Corrections and 3D Avatar Fitting
2 credits; 4 lab hours
This course focuses on garment fit analysis and pattern corrections using the two major CAD programs used in the apparel industry. Students learn advanced computerized patternmaking using Gerber Accumark PDS (Pattern Design System) and 3D virtual garment fitting using Browzwear PDS. By analyzing garment fittings in the virtual environment, students experience unique aspects of the program and learn relations between fit issues and pattern corrections. Simulating 3D garment fitting from the simple top to structured jacket, soft woven to hard woven, and fitted to relaxed look, students will learn how these factors affect pattern corrections in order to retain the original look of the garment.
