CAD in Clothing and Textiles provides a unique insight into the practice of computer-aided design. The contributors were selected fro their special, individual expertise, so that a wide range of CAD applications is covered. These range from writing of software and the sale of systems to the use of the technology in industry and education. It is expected that the forthright views and ideas expressed by these contributors will stimulate discussion and be valuable to students and to companies interested in CAD technology.
