Purpose

In order to present a significant usage of the computer-aided design (CAD)/computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) systems in the apparel and textile industry, the current literature has been observed. Although the CAD/CAM systems have also been increasingly applied to all fields apparel and textile manufacturing for the last few decades, improving the precision, productivity and the organization of the information flow, they have not been fully utilized in these industrial fields. The paper aims to discuss these issues.

Design/methodology/approach

The paper is structured in three main sections showing the vast applicability of the CAD/CAM systems, the benefits provided by them and the future trend in their development.

Findings

Although the initial development of the CAD/CAM systems strived to completely eliminate manual and time-consuming operations, they have not been accepted in practice due to their inflexibility at making changes and the time needed for regenerating a complex parametric model. The textile and apparel industries show slow progress in acquiring the CAD/CAM systems.

Originality/value

This CAD/CAM technology enabled the customization in the design process according to individual needs and directed the textile and the apparel industry to moving into new directions such as the mass customization to personalization. The paper makes clear that although this technological concept is rather old, the use of the CAD/CAM systems will inevitably broaden in terms of applicability to new production stages.

纺织品研究中3D扫描和CAD / CAM应用的现状

目的

为了呈现在服装和纺织工业中的计算机辅助设计（CAD）/计算机辅助制造（CAM）系统的大量使用，已经观察到当前文献。尽管在过去的几十年中，CAD / CAM系统也越来越多地应用于服装和纺织品制造的所有领域，从而提高了精度，生产率和信息流的组织性，但它们尚未在这些工业领域得到充分利用。本文旨在讨论这些问题。

设计/方法/方法

本文分为三个主要部分，分别显示了CAD / CAM系统的广泛适用性，它们提供的好处以及其发展的未来趋势。

发现

尽管CAD / CAM系统的最初开发力图完全消除手动和耗时的操作，但由于它们在进行更改时不够灵活以及重新生成复杂的参数模型所需的时间，因此在实践中并未被接受。纺织和服装行业在获取CAD / CAM系统方面进展缓慢。

创意/价值

这项CAD / CAM技术可根据个人需求在设计过程中进行定制，并指导纺织品和服装行业朝着新的方向发展，例如从大规模定制到个性化。该文件清楚地表明，尽管该技术概念还很陈旧，但是CAD / CAM系统的使用不可避免地会扩展到新生产阶段的适用范围。
