Computer Aided Designs CAD Printing and Production of Cut Wood Motif on Fabrics

Fabric decoration is an art that has existed for many centuries but usually done manually. Before now, most Artists used conventional methods of art production, which is cumbersome, tedious, time consuming but with the introduction of Computer aided design in textile arts, the whole design process become easier and more efficient as well as ensures precise and accurate reproduction of the artwork also in creating more striking and intricate designs that translate into beautiful fabric decorations. Hence, Computer aided design software CAD is an invaluable application for textile design and fabric decoration. This study computer aided design printing and production of cut wood motif on fabrics, aims at developing motifs from the woods fell at different locations in Anambra State Polytechnic, Mgbakwu. The motifs developed are arranged into appropriate repeat patterns, then digitally transferred into CAD software for colours separation and finally printed on laser films for production. It employed the textile techniques of screen printing process. The experiment at the end resulted in fully designed fabrics and interior decoration items ready for the market. The study serves as a resource material as well as an inspiration for designers researcher working on projects of complex designs with great precision to explore computer aided design software and for further advances in the field of textile arts.
