Mitarepo [29] 3D scan → Tried unfolding it into 2D and sewing it together!

【Mitarepo】Cost reduction with automatic 2D unfolding from 3D data! I tried sewing cushions using pattern data created from 3D scans!

"Mitarepo" is a series that introduces what can be done using various products with the concept of "I tried doing this!" We deliver useful information each time from the wide range of product genres handled by System Create. The theme of Vol. 29 is "3D Scan → 2D Sheet Development and Sewing Together!" In various industries such as aviation, shipping, and automotive, there are many products like seat covers and steering wheel covers that require patterns in the production process. However, translating curved surfaces into flat patterns is a challenging task that takes a lot of time and cost. This is where "pattern development software" comes into play, which can automatically calculate and unfold into a flat surface as long as there is 3D data. In this issue, we created and developed three-dimensional data that cannot be simply unfolded, following the contours of the human body through 3D scanning, and actually sewed it together! Can it be unfolded even with freeform surface shapes? Can the pattern data reproduce the original three-dimensional shape? We will explain the process of creating the unfolding data, along with images of the actual sewn backrest cover. *You can download the materials from the button below.
