Abstract

This paper introduces a developed CAD-CAM program that is named as ‘DNC.GARM.DOBBY WEAVING DESIGN’. It was developed using JAVA SE. The software DNC.GARM.DOBBY WEAVING DESIGN is available for individual studies in designing dobby patterns and it generates machine readable files for semi-automated sampling looms manufactured by Gulas Weaving Machines Company (Istanbul/Türkiye). Pattern design and development tools are used in program menu enabling to design the weave with warp/weft colors also. The weave pattern, drafting and lifting plan can be generated manually or automatically. This article represents technical information, features and usage of the developed software DNC.GARM.DOBBY WEAVING DESIGN for designing and production planning of woven patterns and generating the machine readable files for sampling looms.
