Abstract
Due to the rapid advancement of computer technology in the textile industry, understanding the use of computer systems such as CAD/CAM for fabric design is essential. The objective of this research is to revalue Peruvian pre-Columbian art and design a Jacquard fabric for use in contemporary garments. The methodology begins with inspiration from a Peruvian pre-Columbian art piece, in this case, an "uncuña," followed by image segmentation. After segmentation, the image was designed and repeated, followed by the weave pattern design. Finally, a simulation of the final product was performed. The research results consisted of digital segmentation, followed by digitization, weave pattern design, and finally, a visual simulation of the garment. The conclusion is that it is feasible to use pre-Columbian art for the design of a Jacquard fabric for contemporary garments using ArahWeave software.
