The Weave Design Programs link to the Harris NC LOOM. In cloth design you
find the ideal application of the principles of CAD/CAM.

The production of a textile involves the selection and control of thousands 
of yarns to produce a fabric of particular appearance, strength and 'feel'.

The program can analyse the structure of a cloth and calculate how the loom
should be set up to produce it. The plans can be edited or entered
conventionally and communicated to the loom. Colour pictures of cloth
simulation at various scales can be viewed and printed out along with
documentation. Weave sampling can be monitored and designs recorded by the
system.

The textile designer and student are given full rein to develop their ideas
with ease through Archimedes graphics.
