  • Precision control through stitching for material properties of textiles
    Patent number: 11762370
    Abstract: This system is directed to a computerized system for development of textiles with modified physical properties through stitching and can include a set of non-transitory computer readable instructions configured for: receiving a design pattern representing desired physical properties of a textile having a higher stiffness area and a lower stiffness area; developing a contiguous stitching pattern constrained by a pattern perimeter boundary and having a continuous stitching path, developing a first stiffness area within the contiguous stitching pattern having a first area of density, developing a second stiffness area within the contiguous stitching pattern having a second area of density wherein the first area of density has more stitch density than the second area of density, and transmitting the contiguous stitching pattern to an embroidery machine configured to provide a textile having the contiguous stitching pattern incorporating into the textile.
