Creation of 3D printed fashion prototype with multi-coloured texture: a practice-based approach
2020
The use of three-dimensional printing is prevalent in many industries, including fashion industry. Three-dimensional printing has come into wide use in different industries including fashion industry.
Idea Exchange in the Pleats: Pleating Workshop as a Research Method
2020
This paper shares first-hand experience of feedback collection from workshop participants to revise the pleating technique.
Finite-element modelling of elastic woven tapes for bra design applications
2020
In the intimate apparel industry, the evaluation of bra designs has traditionally relied on the practical experience of designers. The limitations of conventional evaluation methods have rendered difficulties in analysing the effect of bra design features.
Effect of contacting surface on the performance of thin-film force and pressure sensors
2020
Flexible force and pressure sensors are important for assessing the wear comfort of tightly fitting apparel. Their accuracy and repeatability depend on the sensor itself and the contacting surface. Measurements of the contact pressure on soft surfaces like human skin tend to be erroneous, which could be due to incorrect sensor calibrations.
Customized Fabrication Approach for Hypertrophic Scar Treatment: 3D Printed Fabric Silicone Composite
2020
Hypertrophic scars (HS) are considered to be the greatest unmet challenge in wound and burn rehabilitation. The most common treatment for HS is pressure therapy, but pressure garments may not be able to exert adequate pressure onto HS due to the complexity of the human body.
Design and development of age-friendly bras
2020
Much like the rest of the developed world, Hong Kong is an aging society, which means that the older population is increasing dramatically. In comparison to younger adults, older adults are more financially comfortable and tend to invest more in themselves. One of the groups of older adults who are also a unique group of consumers are older women, particularly in terms of bras.
