3D fashion design technology has gradually been accepted as an essential tool to fashion design, and in some fashion product development processes virtualization with 3D has become integral.
Clothing design starts from designers depicting their ideas in a particular way that enables others to understand them. The traditional method is drawing a fashion sketch in 2D which could only allow people to image how the finished products will look like, while the new process is utilizing computer-aided technology. Such digital technology puts fashion design to the next level into a virtual-realistic environment and presents the designing ideas on a true-to-life 3D body model. Furthermore, 3D clothing technology is changing the methods of designing, presenting and manufacturing garments from aspects of time and cost.
