Design Principle and Method of Digital Multicolored Warp Jacquard Fabric

Abstract

“Digital Textile” is the product of combining computer technology and textile technology, and jacquard fabric has been the representative product of advanced textile technology. The multicolored warp jacquard fabric is one of the typical jacquard fabrics. This paper presents standardized design principle and method of digital multicolored warp jacquard fabric based on digital design technology, provides guidelines for setting up digital color model and digital database of fabric weave. And then, the practical research of “digital multicolored warp jacquard fabric” is carried out based on the application of digital design technology and digital production technology. Through improving traditional multicolored warp jacquard fabric and on base of digital design principles, the proposal of standardized design method will greatly increase the development efficiency and added value of such kind of product.

Digital design of shot-effect and double-face effect jacquard textiles

“…This type of design is possible only when the layered-combination design mode and a fullcolour compound structure is employed. The full-colour compound structure requires the grouped threads to be arranged in the same direction and in even numbers, so the juxtaposed colour threads must be arranged in a paired proportion of 1 : 1 (Zhou and Ng, 2007b).…”

Digital design of novel simulative effects in jacquard textiles

“…The frequent colour deviation of colour mixture in simulative effect fabric design is a result of colour infl uence by surrounding colour threads, and the difference in saturation of the primary colours of the material(s) used, notably between dyed colours and mixed black. For this reason, resolving the problem of colour deviation during the colour and structure design processes is the key to colourful simulative fabric design Zhou and Ng, 2007c).…”

Visualization of balanced interlacement for digital jacquard based on interlacement frequency statistics and data

“…Moreover, previous studies [15][16][17][18][19][20] focused more on verifying the effectiveness of developing novel fullcolor digital jacquard fabrics, however, lacking exploration of balanced interlacement of their woven structures. Meanwhile, the interlacing information of yarns is saved in virtual binary form and presented in the CAD software interface, 21 balanced interlacement requires to be maintained during the design and application of the weave-databases, rather than to be modified at any moment during pointed paper drawing as traditional jacquard fabric design, otherwise the weaving process could be interrupted.…”
