Co-design tool for customised knitwear

This paper presents a mass customisation co-design tool for knitted fashion garments, and how this tool could reduce time both in programming of the knitting machine, and in the co-design process between the customer and the company. Initial results in this paper shows that it is possibly to customise and design the fashion product with much less help than before from a shop assistant. Customer information is transformed and transferred into program code automatically, and the garment can be knitted without time consuming programming of the knitting machine. The work is based on literature study, company visits and interviews
