Fashion That Moves: How SEDDI Textura Creates Accurate 3D Cloth
It’s pretty mind-blowing that fashion design—an art form that revolves around humans—is still mostly dreamed up in static, flat illustrations and physical swatches. And although scientific developments in the design process for automobiles and buildings for instance have made leaps and bounds, until recently little headway had been made in applying digitalization techniques to textiles. The time has finally come to apply science to the unique challenges of creating 3d cloth from fashion textiles and accurately simulating it. Applying scientific first principles has led to exciting breakthroughs and the new technology behind SEDDI Textura—technology that allows us to create
