Considerate Design for Personalised Fashion Products

这个组合项目将开发新的时尚产品-一体式针织品和时尚配饰-将时尚制作的工艺技能与新技术相结合。它将提出新的设计流程，减少对环境的影响，并同时考虑产品的最终用户和企业生命周期。该项目的理论基础是对设计过程的识别和分析，并为将接受复杂设计理论检验的“体贴设计”模型创建指导方针。该项目回应了快速变化的时尚背景，并将用户置于设计过程的中心。它的目标是利用3D人体扫描与快速成型方法相关联的新应用程序来生产个性化的时尚产品，以生产与不同直接制造和生产过程相集成的定制人体相关形式；直接3D生产Semafree针织品、制造定制手袋，以及创建符合人体要求的无缝纺织结构。每个子项目都与行业有短期或长期的相关性，有助于大规模定制的概念，以创造可行的产品，这些产品是单独为需求量身定做的。在定制时尚中，每件产品的设计投入远远高于大规模生产的产品。为了使这成为一个可行的选择，设计师必须学习如何有效地组织他们的设计过程，并准确地计算他们的设计过程的成本。本项目将利用子项目作为数据来源，建立周到设计的设计流程模型，为周到的设计程序制定指导。这一过程将在剑桥电子数据中心开发的路标软件中模拟，该软件提供了模拟个别程序并评估其成本和风险的机会。这也提供了一个机会来评估汽车和航空航天行业以外的指示牌方法的范围。第一个子项目是工业制造的3D针织品。到目前为止，无缝针织品在时尚市场上的普及一直很缓慢，尽管这项技术已经出现了很多年。这个项目展示了如何通过定制合身和舒适来实现附加值，并将通过开发更广泛的消费者可以接受的针织品来为时尚业的服务部门做出贡献。材料的重点是重新审视羊毛作为一种可持续的纤维，以及一种对不同温度和季节做出反应的多功能性。该项目通过与用户的互动进行周到的设计，通过消除化妆过程和提供更舒适的服装来缩短供应链。第二个子项目将制造定制功能包(如背包和电脑机箱)的工艺原理和实践与身体扫描和快速原型相结合，以生产精确适合个人姿势和身体的产品，使用专门设计的部件和当代材料进行美学设计和功能目的，潜在地增加使用寿命。第三个项目是较长期的，专注于创造符合身体形状的无缝纺织结构的新范例。它不使用传统的纺织和时尚工艺，而是采用工业产品快速成型的技术和材料，通过链接结构来创造灵活的表面。这个项目测试通过计算机和人类设计的界面生成表格的新设计过程。每个子项目的结果将通过学术期刊传播，通过会议和交易会向业界传播，并通过杂志上的编辑特写直接向公众传播，以及在适当的地点如伦敦的ICA、设计博物馆、莱斯特郡的中心进行的作品展览。

This portfolio project will develop new fashion products - one piece knitwear and fashion accessories - which integrate the craft skills of fashion making with new technologies. It will propose new design processes which will have reduced environmental impact and consider both the end user and the enture life cycle of the product. The theoratical underpinning of the project is the identification and analysis of the design process and creation of guidlines for a 'Considerate Design' model which will be tested against theories of complexity in design.The project responds to the rapidly changing context of fashion and positions the user at the centre of the design process. It aims to produce personalised fashion products using new applications of 3D body scanning linked to rapid prototyping methods to produce customised body related forms integrated with different direct manufacturing and production processes; the direct 3D production of semafree knitwear, the manufacture of bespoke bags, and creation of body conformable seamless textile structures. The sub-projects each have a relevance to industry in either the short or longer term, contributing to the concept of mass customisation, to create viable products which are individually tailored to requirements.In bespoke fashion the design input per item is far higher then in mass produced pieces. To make this a viable option designers must learn how to structure their design processes effectively and cost their design process accurately. This project will model a design process for Considerate Design using the sub-projects as sources of data to develop guidance for the considerate design procedures. The process will be modelled in the Signposting software, developed in the Cambridge EDC, which provides an opportunity to model individual procedures and assess their cost and risk. This also provides an opportunity to assess the scope of the Signposting method outside the automotive and aerospace industry.The first sub-project works with industrially made 3D knitwear. The uptake of seamfree knitwear has to date been slow in the fashion market, despite the technology having been available for a number of years. This project demonstrates how added value can be delivered through customised fit and comfort, and will contribute to the service sector of the fashion industry by developing knitwear which is more acceptable to a wider range of consumers. The materialf focus is on revisiting wool as both a sustainable fibre, and one which is versatile in response to different temperatures and seasons. The project contributes to considerate designt hrough the interaction with the user, the shortening of the supply chain by elimination of making up processes and by providing more comfortable clothing.The second sub-project integrates the philosophy and practice of craft in manufacturing bespoke functional bags (eg backpacks and computer cases) with body scanning and rapid prototyping to produce products with an exact fit to the posture and body of an individual, using specially created components and contemporary materials for both aesthetic design and functional purpose, with potential to increase longevity of use.The third project is longer term, focusing on creating new paradigms for production of seamless textile structures which conform in shape to the body. It uses no traditional textile and fashion processes, but adapts the technologies and materials from rapid prototyping of industrial products through linked structures to create flexible surfaces. This project tests new design processes for generating form through the interface of computer and human design.The results of each sub project will be disseminated through academic journals, to industry through conferences and trade fairs, and directly to the public through editorial features in magazines, and a work in progresexhibition at an appropriate venue such as the ICA in London, the Design Museum, The Hub in Leicestershire.
