Abstract

This paper presents a module to facilitate the design and manufacturing process of warp-wise three dimensional (3D) woven fabrics. An implanted interface was created for the users to determine the interlacement position between the warp and weft yarns. The wefts are represented by straight rods, and the path of the warp yarn could be formed by piecing together yarn segments. The selection of yarn segments is determined by the positions of yarn interlacement. According to the position of yarn interlacement, a mathematical algorithm was developed to generate weave matrix so that the lifting plan could be automatically obtained for the subsequent weaving process. If the weave matrix was provided, the module is also able to visualise the fabric by OpenGL so that people could preview and modify the structures.

摘要

本文提出了一个模块，以促进经向三维 (3D) 机织物的设计和制造过程。为用户创建了一个植入界面，以确定经纱和纬纱之间的交织位置。纬线用直杆表示，经纱的路径可以通过将纱线段拼接在一起而形成。纱线段的选择由纱线交织的位置决定。根据纱线交织的位置，开发了数学算法生成编织矩阵，从而为后续的编织过程自动获取提升计划。如果提供了编织矩阵，该模块还可以通过 OpenGL 将织物可视化，以便人们可以预览和修改结构。
