Machine Design and Embroidery Technology

Course Description: The course Automated Design and Embroidery Technology (DESI725), offered to the second-level PhD program in Apparel and Textile Design and Embroidery with 4 credit hours, covers the most important specialized computer programs for automated design and embroidery. It includes stages of processing decorative design using automated design and embroidery programs, inputting decorative units into computer memory using input devices, stages of converting drawings and images via specialized computer programs into programmed designs and their application to (clothing and furnishings). It also covers stages of converting alphabets and logos via specialized computer programs into programmed designs and their application to clothing and furnishings, setting the needle work plan for the design, reference points, and different stitches. Furthermore, it addresses methods for transferring processed decorative designs to Tajima automated embroidery machines, the Tajima automated embroidery machine (its components, operation, and maintenance), factors affecting embroidery efficiency and quality, and preparing and implementing a set of decorative designs using the programs and the Tajima automated embroidery machine for application to clothing and furnishings.

Credit hours: 4

Objectives of the course :

The course aims to study different types of applied computer programs and how to benefit from them in the design and production of automated embroidery, from the decorative design preparation stage to the automated embroidery stage. It will equip students with the skill of using specialized programs in both the design and automated embroidery execution stages, introduce students to the advanced capabilities of design and automated embroidery programs that serve contemporary needs, and the factors affecting the efficiency and quality of embroidery. It will equip students with the skill of preparing samples executed by an automated embroidery machine on different materials such as (cotton, satin, chiffon).
