Quick student answer
Which of the following processes is commonly used in digital design for creating virtual samples of fabrics?
Direct answer
Virtual modelling is a process that allows designers to create and manipulate digital representations of fabrics and garments before physical production.
Key terms
- Digital Fabric Printing: A method of printing on fabric using inkjet technology, allowing for complex designs and patterns.
- Virtual Prototyping: The creation of a digital model of a product that can be tested and modified before physical production.
Common trap
Confusing virtual modelling with physical prototyping: Understand that virtual modelling is a digital process that allows for design adjustments without physical materials.
