Three people are portrayed digitally by scanning their bodies. The output of this scan is a 3d file, which resolution is defiend by the amount of polygons, similiar to pixels in a bitmap graphic.
Linked with their biographical memories a digital twin of the body is thus created, which expands and personifies the garment in a formal-poetic way. Above: Swimmies
The 3d data is turned into 2d sewing patterns by the use of the unfolding function which is a common tool in industrial design process to make paper models with, the single fabric pieces and the inner interface which defines the edges are cut out by the help of a laser cutter.
Making a clothes pattern in this way changes the aesthetics of the garment fundamentally, because in contrary to ordinary pattern construction methods unfolding does not matter about orientations like center front or the shape of a armhole, which frees the designers imagination in a way that feels fresh and liberate.
As fabric we used sweatshirt jersey as a reference to the common cliche that Berlin is the city which fashionable output lies
in making and painting on t-shirts.

Tutorial 4
This tutorial builds on tutorial 2, and will show you how to
apply a pattern to a 3D surface and create an object based on the 2D pattern.
Remember if you can’t find the tool icon, you can write it in the command line.
1. 2. In Rhino use the drawing curve in the front view.
3. 4. Copy and move the curve.
5. 6. Scale the copy curve down
7. 8. Loft the two curves
9.10 Select and move the curves and surface away from 0,0,0
point
11. Unroll the surface.
12. 13. Duplicate Border of the unrolled surface.
14. 15. 16. Rename the layers- see the image for names and
colors
17. Open Grasshopper, and open the tutorial 2 grasshopper
file. Right click on the R of the populate 2D battery and make a rectangle over
the unrolled surface. Right click on the B of the voronoi battery and make a rectangle
the same as the populate 2D battery. Right click on the curve battery, and select
the duplicate border of the unrolled surface.
18. Create a Map to Surface battery.
19. Create two new surface batteries.
20. 21. 22. 23. Right click on a surface battery and set one
surface as the unrolled surface. Right click on the other battery on set one
surface as the 3D surface. Plug the first surface battery with the unrolled
surface in to the S of the map to surface battery. Plug the surface with the 3D
surface in to the T of the map to surface battery. Now plug the R into the C of
the map to surface battery. Move whatever parameters you used to create your 2D
pattern and see the 3D curves move)
24. 25. Bake the Map to Surface battery on the 3D curve
layer (you should have made and renamed layer in step 14,15,16- if you didn’t
do it now).
26. 27. Select all of the batteries in the grasshopper
window and turn the preview off. Minimize the grasshopper window.
28. Select the Split tool, and select the 3D surface as the
object to split.
29. Select the 3D curves as the cutting objects. Wait
30. 31 Select the pattern you’ve cut out of the surface and
put it on the 3D object layer.
32. Turn off all the other layers by clicking the light
bulbs by their color boxes.
33. Select the 3D object and select the offset surface tool.
34. The offset distance should be .5” and the solid=yes
35. Now try to do this with a surface you’ve captured in
123D catch.
