BLACKOPS - DIGITAL FABRIC

BFD enables the transformation of a fabric inspiration into a fabric specification, creating processes and applications to better identify, manage, monetize, and leverage fabric assets. It incorporates a set of modules that digitize six attributes of a textile, thus creating a model suitable for both design and manufacturing end-users. These six attributes are 1) Appearance (A), 2) Construction (C), 3) Hand (H), 4) Drape (D), 5) Performance (P), and 6) Manufacturing Feasibility (F).

Six Attributes

1. Surface appearance descriptor (BFD-A)

An identifier based on a logical construction hierarchy, like Single Knit Jersey 1.0.2.1

2. Fabric construction spec (BFD-C)

1. Surface appearance descriptor (BFD-A)

Scan an unknown fabric and derive machine set-up data and yarn options

3. Digital hand values (BFD-H)

1. Surface appearance descriptor (BFD-A)

4. Digital drape values (BFD-D)

Assign a “Total Hand” value along with numbers for each sub-attribute

4. Digital drape values (BFD-D)

6. Manufacturing feasibility rating (BFD-F)

4. Digital drape values (BFD-D)

Assign a “Total Drape” value along with numbers for each sub-attribute

5. Performance (BFD-P)

6. Manufacturing feasibility rating (BFD-F)

Record standard testing values in a Black Swan End-Use Test Protocol for known fabrics at the mill

6. Manufacturing feasibility rating (BFD-F)

Assign an overall rating along with data associated with each metric to classify the manufacturing complexity of a given fabric
