Academy of Technical and
Art Applied Studies Belgrade

Computer Aided Garment Manufacturing Course code: PRK 221074 | 7 ECTS credits

Basic information
Level of Studies: Undergraduate applied studies
Year of Study: 3
Semester: 6
Requirements: Basic knowledge of computers.
Goal: Introducing the students to the theoretical and practical foundations needed to apply computers in the construction of men’s, women’s, and children’s garments. Adopting lasting knowledge needed to prepare the production with the help of a computer (CAD/CAM systems).
Outcome: Upon passing the exam, the students will be able to: explain the basic configuration of the CAD system, i.e. prepare garment construction using the CAD system; prepare the patterns for digitalization; model, complete, grade and fit pattern parts into the lay plan; save, convert, and export data on pattern parts of individual garments.
