"Continuum" is software fabrication project by Mary Huang, past student of Design | Media Arts at UCLA, and Interaction Design at CIID. The project blends rapid fabrication, interactive software, and the accessibility of the web, to let individuals participate directly in the design and production process.
The software is developed in Processing and allows you to design a dress and convert it into a 3D model, which is turned into a flat pattern that can be cut out of fabric and sewn into the dress. The physical dress be purchased through the fashion label, but also the cutting patterns will be downloadable for those who would rather make it themselves in the material of their choice.
There is also a web-based application created using Processing.js which allows you to create a dress online. The future iterations will also include ability to save your measurements, create and save designs, purchase the physical dress, or download the cutting pattern for their design.
