Learning outcomes |
To know the woven fabric concept and the weaves parameters.
To know the weaves of simple woven fabrics, colour effects and patterns
To know the technical parameters of woven fabrics, their analysis methodology and influence on performance
To develop capacities to draw patterns of warp and weft fabrics, in simple fabrics, fundamental weaves and the derived from these
To develop skills for the design project of woven fabric, through the ability to draw patterns in the CAD system, using warp and weft yarns, colour sequences, yarn densities and weaves
To develop capacities to relate the materials, the structural characteristics, the concept of use and aesthetic values, as well as the quality level determined by the market.
