How to Scan and Digitize Fabric

Subscribe

In the fashion industry, precision and speed are paramount. To create accurate virtual twins, designers must account for the real-life physics of fabrics. To digitally visualize how the final physical garment will fit and drape, design teams need to apply the same fabrics that will be used in physical production.

How to Scan and Digitize Fabric

Fashion brands use Browzwear’s Fabric Analyzer (FAB) to scan and digitize fabric. It allows for accurate fabric simulation while eliminating the tedious and error-prone process of manual fabric analysis.

FAB makes it faster and easier than ever to visualize fabrics in 3D, providing true-to-life simulations of properties such as thickness, drape, and stretch. Using cutting-edge technology, FAB captures these properties with mechanical precision, enabling the creation of a virtual twin for garments.

This virtual twin ensures that every aspect of a design—from the way the fabric moves to how it fits—is rendered with accuracy, allowing designers to trust their 3D simulations like never before.

How Fabric Analyzer Works

With minimal human intervention, the custom-designed Fabric Analyzer is capable of transforming fabric analysis into a seamless process. Here’s how it works:

  1. Captures Full-Force Extension Curve
    FAB meticulously measures and records the extension curve of your fabric, ensuring no detail is overlooked.

  2. Translates Data into Human-Readable Parameters
    The captured data is converted into essential parameters such as mass, thickness, bend, stretch, linearity, and shear. This information is not only easy to understand but also crucial for accurate simulations.

  3. Creates a Digital Fabric Automatically
    Once analyzed, the fabric is automatically digitized and ready to be draped in VStitcher, Browzwear’s 3D design software. From there, it can be transformed into a stunningly realistic 3D garment.

Versatile Applications Across Fashion

FAB isn’t limited to apparel—it’s a versatile tool that can analyze fabrics for footwear, bags, and other accessories. FAB also provides raw captured data of full curves upon request for users requiring additional insights. Whether you’re working with delicate silks or rugged leathers, FAB ensures that your materials are represented with the same precision and accuracy.

For users requiring additional insights, FAB also provides raw captured data of full curves upon request, delivering even deeper analysis when needed.

Unlock the Future of Digital Fabric Simulation

By using Browzwear’s Fabric Analyzer, you’re not just streamlining your workflow; you’re elevating the quality and reliability of your designs. The ability to visualize and simulate fabrics in 3D with unparalleled accuracy empowers fashion professionals to make informed decisions, reduce waste, and achieve their creative vision with confidence.
