CAD/CAM SYSTEM FOR JACQUARD WEAVING PATTERN

This paper describes a CAD/CAM system for jacquard weaving pattern by the Electrical Automation Institute of Zhejiang University. The system consists of a CCD color scanner by which the pattern is input to a microcomputer based workstation on which the draft can be modified and processed by means of interaction and an automatic card punching machine by which the cards can be produced to control the weaving patterns. The design of the system includes those of hardware and software. This paper mainly introduces the application of graphic methods and the design of the interface of man-machine interaction.
