Pattern computation for compression garment
Proceedings of the 2008 ACM symposium on Solid and physical modeling, 2008 This paper addresses the problem of computing planar patterns for compression garments. In the garment industry, the compression garment has been more and more widely used to retain a shape of human body, where certain strain (or normal pressure) is designed at some places on the compression garment.
