Textile Printing Graphic Design with CAD/CAM Computer System

In study presents a CAD/CAM computer system for textile printing design. This computer systems part of an integrated system for graphic design, and includes also structural edition and retrieval tools to exploiting textile printing design. Drawing and some commands for geometrical transformations are specified by means of freehand strokes. Paper describes both user interface and its implementation details. A detailed design example is presented, where an ornamental motive, belonging to a pattern design has been generated by the gesture interface. Then it is integrated in a textile printing design using structural edition CAD/CAM system computer, based on the scientific theory of symmetry groups.
