Abstract
Abstract In order to reduce the development cost of open topping-on structured crochet fabrics and realize the diversified design and three-dimensional (3D) simulation of fabric, the weaving process and principle of this kind of fabric were deeply studied, and the lapping motion and yarn threading motion models of fabric structure were established. Combined with the structural characteristics of fabric, the geometric models of pillar stitch organization, weft lining organization, open topping-on organization, and fringed weft-insertion organization were established under ideal conditions. Through the measurement and analysis of the actual fabric, the number and position of the coil type value points are further determined. The shape transformation of the fringes is realized by combining the random geometric transformation algorithm. This work introduces the structural characteristics and process design method of a typical fabric, and explores the diversified combination of structures, and finally realizes the 3D simulation of fabric with the help of JavaScript and C# computer programming language. The results show that, through 3D simulation technology, we can quickly try different patterns, materials, and color combinations, so as to see the design effect intuitively. This way of virtual display and iterative modification can significantly improve the design efficiency, and greatly reduce the trial and error cost and time consumption, providing an efficient way to find the best design scheme.
