Knitwear production technology

Course Description: The course "Design and Production of Knitted Garments" (DESI713), offered at the first level of the PhD program in Fashion Design and Production, carries 4 credit hours. It covers the study of different types of knitted fabrics, including weft knitting and warp knitting, and the machines used to produce them. It also examines the physical and mechanical properties of natural and synthetic fibers used in knitted garment production. The course delves into the manufacturing of knitted garments, production methods, especially 3D knitted garments, and industrial knitting machinery for such fabrics. Finally, students will develop a production plan for a sports garment made from knitted fabrics, adhering to modern technological approaches in garment manufacturing. .

Credit hours: 4

Objectives of the course :

This course aims to study the technology of knitwear production, starting from product design and creating knitwear patterns in relation to the natural and mechanical properties of different fabrics. It also covers the use of appropriate production methods for the garment industry using modern and specialized industrial knitting machines for knit fabrics, and the implementation of a sportswear product according to technological methods in the garment industry.
