Computers in the garment industry

Course Description: This course, "Computers in the Garment Industry" (DESI715), offered in the second level of the PhD program in Garment Design and Production, covers all aspects of computer systems used in the garment industry. This includes understanding the capabilities, tasks, importance, and benefits of these systems. The course explores the computer as a tool in the design process (CAD), specifically focusing on the AccuMark software. It also delves into computer systems as aids in the manufacturing process (CAM), the integration between CAD and CAM systems, and the use of computers in Computer-Integrated Manufacturing (CIM). Furthermore, the course examines the structures of Product Data Management (PDM) software in the garment industry, including how it handles various data inputs and produces output such as production schedules, reports, and documents for the ready-to-wear garment sector. .

Credit hours: 4

Objectives of the course :

The course aims to study computer-aided pattern design and drawing systems (capabilities – main tasks – importance – benefits), the computer as an aid in the CAD design process (drawing and preparing patterns – grading – preparing marker layout), the AccuMark software, and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) systems (production processes starting from planning to design – pattern grading and marker layout – spreading process – cutting – printing – embroidery – knitting – ironing), and the use of computers in Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) (local and wide area networks in the garment industry).
