Much research has been done in recent years in the apparel industry to incorporate different fabrics, mesh designs, nanomaterials and ˵smart fabrics″ for sports, first responder and military apparel. One application of these technologies exists in next-to-skin apparel, where combinations of varying fabrics and/or finishes are being used to provide thermal and moisture management. This paper describes a case study showing how asset teams may effectively communicate to develop multidisciplinary solutions to design problems. In particular, the workflow used to develop a database of the thermal distributions of the human torso will be discussed. This database will be data mined to determine whether the mass-customization of next-to-skin apparel designed to optimize thermal and moisture management is feasible or not. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
