AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Current garment manufacturing methods are time-consuming and costly for custom fit garments, and 3D printing technologies face challenges in precisely printing on curved surfaces without damaging the object and ensuring uniform consistency of the printed layers.

Method used

A system and method utilizing a reorientable robotic arm with a heated printing pen that ejects viscous material, controlled by a computer-generated 3D model to print custom fit garments as continuous polylines, ensuring precise placement and angle adjustments to avoid damage and maintain uniformity.

Benefits of technology

Enables rapid production of custom fit garments in days, reducing waste and production time, while ensuring precise fit and sustainability, and improving worker conditions by minimizing human intervention and optimizing material usage.

Abstract

A system for manufacturing a custom fit garment that comprises a reorientable robotic arm, a heated printing pen carried by the robotic arm from a tip of which heated and viscous printing material is continuously ejectable, a surface for receiving the ejected printing material, and a processor of a computer located externally to the robotic arm on which is running a software component that is configured to at least generate a three dimensional model of a scanned mannequin and to calculate a plurality of control points derived from the model to which the printing pen tip is displaceable by means of the robotic arm. Each layer of a desired custom fit garment is printable by the printing material ejected from the printing pen tip in a form of a continuous polyline that sequentially coincides with and changes direction at each region of the receiving surface that corresponds to the plurality of control points. Each of the control points is defined by a specific location of the model, an angle of a tip of the printing pen, and a speed of the tip.
