The shape of apparel is one of the most important elements in fashion design, for example, the three-dimensional shape of apparel can be quite creative and fashionable. The current technologies for creating the three-dimensional shape of apparel are many, but have their limitations in dealing with various fabrics, particularly light and soft fabrics. This article presents a new method to rapidly create three-dimensional shape of apparel for avoiding the aforementioned disadvantages. The method combines thermal bonding of thermoplastic polyurethane film and vacuum forming. In this study, 12 kinds of commercial fabrics were selected and then tested. All these fabrics were first bonded to thermoplastic polyurethane film and then rapidly applied to the vacuum forming machine to form the three-dimensional mold-like shape. This research analyzed the factors of molding a fabric to a good three-dimensional shape of apparel and the relative tests to be carried out for validating its stability for the selected fabric samples. There are two main contributions of this study. The first is to propose a more effective method for three-dimensional shape of apparel in fashion design. The second is to provide useful information for fabric selection and determination of bonding temperature in molding.

热塑性聚氨酯薄膜热粘合真空成型打造服装立体造型的研究

服装的造型是时装设计中最重要的元素之一，例如服装的立体造型就可以非常有创意和时尚。目前创造服装三维造型的技术很多，但在处理各种面料，特别是轻柔面料方面都有其局限性。本文提出了一种快速创建服装三维形状的新方法，以避免上述缺点。该方法结合了热塑性聚氨酯薄膜的热粘合和真空成型。在这项研究中，选择了 12 种商业面料，然后进行了测试。所有这些织物首先粘合到热塑性聚氨酯薄膜上，然后迅速应用到真空成型机上，形成三维模具形状。本研究分析了将织物成型为良好的服装三维形状的因素，以及为验证所选织物样品的稳定性而进行的相关测试。这项研究有两个主要贡献。首先是在时装设计中提出一种更有效的服装三维造型方法。二是为面料的选择和成型时粘合温度的确定提供有用的信息。
