Abstract
Cliptronic fabric is referred to as one of the most luxurious and complicated knitted fabrics because of the exceptionally complex yarn-cutting technique and Cliptronic jacquard structures. Cliptronic jacquard principles and the single-end selection mechanism were first studied to theoretically reveal its patterning algorithm. To realize computerized design, the pattern image was transferred to jacquard bitmap. Certain grid units were defined in a form of mathematical matrixes for representing offset data of jacquard elements, including half-gauge fall-plate, full-gauge inlay, and half-gauge yarn selection jacquard systems. Additionally, for generating superior and clear pattern contours, boundary grids which connect various jacquard effects required a further adjustment and a detailed designing discipline was concluded. The researched patterning algorithm of Cliptronic structures positively helps to expand product range and enhance fabrication efficiency.
