4 Learning (Firm) (Added Author). Films for the Humanities & Sciences (Firm) (Added Author). Infobase (Added Author).

Summary: Computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing has replaced the old-fashioned screen process of transferring designs onto fabric, giving textile artists more flexibility while reducing overhead costs. In this program designers at RA Smart demonstrate how CAD and CAM technology is used for joining, engraving, printing, and cutting fabrics. The video also investigates computer-aided knitting at the Glenbrae Knitware factory, where comfortable, seamless, one-piece knitted garments are manufactured for golf pros, and computer-aided embroidery for creation of unique logos and customer samples in record time. Part of the series Get Into Textiles. (25 minutes)
