METHODS AND APPARATUSES TO FACILITATE STRAIN MEASUREMENT IN TEXTILES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240273710 titled 'METHODS AND APPARATUSES TO FACILITATE STRAIN MEASUREMENT IN TEXTILES
- Simplified Explanation:**
The patent application describes a system that uses additive manufacturing to produce textile components for custom articles. The system analyzes images of a reference article to determine strain values in the textile component and then applies reinforcement to a textile substrate of a custom article based on this analysis.
- Key Features and Innovation:**
- Additive manufacturing device communicates with a processor and memory to analyze strain values in textile components.
- System generates a strain map based on the strain values to guide the application of reinforcement to a textile substrate.
- Custom articles are variably reinforced according to the strain map to enhance their durability and performance.
- Potential Applications:**
This technology can be used in the production of custom clothing, protective gear, automotive interiors, and aerospace components.
- Problems Solved:**
The system addresses the challenge of efficiently reinforcing textile components in custom articles to improve their strength and longevity.
- Benefits:**
- Enhanced durability and performance of custom articles.
- Tailored reinforcement based on strain analysis.
- Efficient production process for textile components.
- Commercial Applications:**

- Potential commercial uses include custom clothing manufacturing, sports equipment production, and industrial applications.
- Prior Art:**
Researchers can explore prior art related to additive manufacturing in textile production and strain analysis in material science.
- Frequently Updated Research:**
Stay informed about advancements in additive manufacturing technology, strain analysis techniques, and textile reinforcement methods.
- Questions about Textile Component Reinforcement:**
1. How does the system determine strain values in textile components? 2. What are the potential applications of this technology in different industries?
Original Abstract Submitted
a system to produce a textile component of an article includes an additive manufacturing device in selective communication with a processor and memory. the processor and memory are configured to determine a strain value in a region of a textile component of a reference article based on images of the reference article from a camera in selective communication with the processor and memory and to generate a strain map based on the strain value. the additive manufacturing device is configured to apply a reinforcement to a textile substrate of a custom article to variably reinforce the textile substrate according to the strain map and to form the textile component of the custom article.
