What is CAM?
Application of fabric to manufacture, lay planning, size grading, controlled cutting, controlled decoration, controlled construction, controlled pressing.
PPC?
Production planning and control.
CIM?
Computer integrated manufacture?
EDI?
Electronic data interchange?

What is a foundation garment?
Is an undergarment designed to temporarily alter the wearers body shape, to achieve a more fashionable figure. Smooth and control.

Light: body liner, body suit.
Available in leotard or camisole
Regulations on kids clothing:
1)general product safety regulations
Children’s outer garments covering cords and drawstrings on kids clothing.
2)nightwear safety regulations
Not flammable
Micro-encapsulation uses?
Have nice smells
Antibiotics
Allergy control
Moisture management
Thermo chromic fabrics?
Changes in temperature
Used for tshirts, serious applications
Medical textiles
Uv sensitive textiles
Changes colour when exposed to uv light.
Uses; warning of overexposure to sun
Glow in the dark fabrics?
Activated with a light source so that it glows.
Uses; safety wear and club wear.
Fluorescent fabrics?
Absorb energy and emit extra light. Used for brightly coloured safety wear.
Reflective fabrics?
Glass beads refract the light and beam it back to source.
Uses? Night wear and safety as they reflect the beans from the headlights.
Biometrics?
The extract of good design from nature
Applying biometrics?
Speedo fast skin;
Swim suit from observing sharks
Intelligent textiles?
Light emitting (luminex)
Army uniform
Changing colour and shape
Emitting scents
Light emitting intelligent textiles?
Luminex is a new fabric that can emit light on its own.
Optical and emit light in darkened situations.
Soldier uniforms, intelligent textiles?
Uniform that will shield, heal and protect then against chemical and biochemical warfare.
Changing colours d shape intelligent textiles?
Smart fibres with conductive a wires can react to signals, pressure, fashion and function when pared with electronic devises.
Emitting scents, intelligent textiles?
Smart dress which emits scents depending on the mood and requirements. Sleep suit emits lavender for insomnia.
Three types of smart materials?
Passive: reads the stimulus eg sensors, built in gps, clothing integrate baby monitors.
Active smart: senses the stimulus and reacts eg memory foam, colour changing, heat storage.
Ultra smart: adapts to he environment.
Thermochromic:
Reacts to heat.
Changes from black to blue through the spectrum of colours when heated above 27.
Photochromic?
Reacts to uv’ show strength of uv Rays.
Shape memory polymer?
Developed for astronauts, now used for hospitals. Relieve bed sores and increase circulation.
React to body heat and weight
No pressure points
Material recovers.
Phase change materials?
Micro-encapsulated fabric, change from a solid to a liquid so the body feels cool.
Micro encapsulated fabrics release energy when changing back so keep you warm as well
Medical textiles?
Silver incorporated into fabric so will have antibacterial.
Aliginate fabrics made from dried seaweed, which is very absorbent and can be used for dressings.
Gore-tex?
Brand name of PTFE membrane which is oil and water repellant. Can let perspiration out but not let water in.
Micro fibres?
Very synthetic fibres, less than one denier thick. Tough, extremely soft, very absorbent and breathable.
Chiropoly?
Fabric spun using crabs and shrimps. Hypoallergenic and antibacterial and helps moisturise the skin.
Fibre optics?
Glass or plastic and allow light to pass along them. Used in tele communications and wearable electronics.
What Are modern materials?
Engineered to have high performance properties.
When was industrial revolution?
1880, 1900.
What is a kite mark?
Bsi has independently tested it and confirms this it conforms to the relevant British standard.
What is a ce marking?
Manufacturers claim that it meets the requirements of European legislation.
