Abstract

The knitting industry CAD/CAM system´s development needs a solution of some problems related to the computer representation of the designed objects. One of them is a generation of curve shape form knitting pattern and its transformation to knitting rows and stitches. This is an important problem for the FF knitting method because the knitted product´s shape must be the same as the pattern´s one. This paper suggests an algorithm for curve forms knitting patterns generation and its transformation to knitting rows and stitches. The algorithm´s idea is to use the stitch size and geometry, applying the Bezier and B-spline methods. The proposed algorithm has been realized as an application, implemented with MS Visual C++ and can be used in knitting industry CAD/CAM systems
