Abstract
An automatic 3D garment construction is provided using steps for: providing a plurality of panels of a garment so as to be processed in an information processing device, wherein each of the plurality of panels comprises seam lines; positioning the plurality of panels at corresponding locations around a virtual body provided in the information processing device; finding matching seam lines for the plurality of panels and creating seams; and producing the garment in which the plurality of panels are positioned, seamed, and draped on the virtual body. The step for positioning may comprise a step for panel tagging, a step for seam line tagging, and a step for panel packing, in which related panels are grouped and packed, such that relative positions are fixed among the packed panels, and the packed panels move as a group.
