The apparel industry is of critical importance to the US and worldwide economy in terms of investment, revenue, trade, and employment. Despite the economic uncertainties and fluctuations, the global apparel industry continues to grow at a healthy pace and is expected to reach approximately $3.2 trillion dollars in 2015 with an estimated annual growth rate in excess of 4 percent. The U.S. apparel market is the largest in the world, comprising about 28 percent of the global market. While customized apparel is highly desirable, customized clothing currently comprises only 2 to 3 percent of the apparel market, due to high manufacturing cost, which includes significant human labor. This EArly-concept Grant for Exploratory Research (EAGER) project plans to design an end-to-end system architecture and a proof-of-concept prototype application software for affordable individualized clothing and personalized manufacturing. The resulting approach can facilitate high-quality yet low-cost individualized apparel, enable innovative product design and/or manufacturing, and potentially transform the fashion industry. The resulting scientific and technological advances have the potential to improve the status of the US apparel manufacturing industry in the world market. Complementing these research goals, we will introduce a new graduate course on cyber-manufacturing, release example software systems, and organize workshops related to cybermanufacturing. The multi-disciplinary curriculum development and cyber-engineering research training, featured through the departmental outreach and the University science fairs, can also help attract underrepresented groups, especially women and minority students, to computer science and engineering.This early-concept exploration focuses on providing a novel computational framework and software system architecture required to solve challenging cyber-manufacturing of customized apparel by offering an alternative, clean, green, and resource-efficient approach. It will feature a seamless integrated system that can provide real-time, customized design of apparel with human-in-the-loop prototyping, virtual testing, and intelligent manufacturing. The prototype system will consist of new, simple-to-use 3D body measurement systems on portable devices, real-time pattern selection, interactive cloud-based design optimization, reliable visual inspection, predictable virtual try-on, and adept fabrication with different fabric materials. The overall project contributes to building a scientific foundation, system framework, and computational principles to integrate different constitutive models, by linking the computational processes of low-cost sensing, simulation analysis, design optimization, to the agile, rapid cybermanufacturing of a customized product, thereby providing cross-cutting scientific advances.

服装行业在投资、收入、贸易和就业方面对美国和全球经济至关重要。 尽管经济不确定性和波动，全球服装行业继续以健康的步伐增长，预计2015年将达到约3.2万亿美元，估计年增长率超过4%。美国是世界上最大的服装市场，约占全球市场的28%。虽然定制服装是非常可取的，定制服装目前只占服装市场的2%至3%，由于高制造成本，其中包括大量的人力。这个早期概念探索性研究资助（EAGER）项目计划设计一个端到端的系统架构和一个概念验证原型应用软件，用于负担得起的个性化服装和个性化制造。 由此产生的方法可以促进高质量但低成本的个性化服装，实现创新的产品设计和/或制造，并可能改变时尚行业。由此产生的科学和技术进步有可能提高美国服装制造业在世界市场上的地位。 为了补充这些研究目标，我们将推出一个新的研究生课程，网络制造，发布示例软件系统，并组织与网络制造相关的研讨会。 多学科课程开发和网络工程研究培训，通过部门外联和大学科学展览会进行，也有助于吸引代表性不足的群体，特别是妇女和少数民族学生，这种早期概念探索的重点是提供一种新颖的计算框架和软件系统架构，以解决具有挑战性的网络安全问题。通过提供一种替代的、清洁的、绿色的和资源有效的方法来制造定制服装。 它将采用无缝集成系统，可以提供实时，定制的服装设计与人在环原型，虚拟测试和智能制造。 该原型系统将包括便携式设备上的新的、简单易用的3D人体测量系统、实时模式选择、基于云的交互式设计优化、可靠的视觉检测、可预测的虚拟试穿以及使用不同织物材料的熟练制造。 整个项目有助于建立一个科学基础，系统框架和计算原则，以整合不同的本构模型，通过连接低成本传感，仿真分析，设计优化的计算过程，敏捷，快速的网络制造的定制产品，从而提供跨领域的科学进步。
