ICCON
Technology™ is
a revolutionary system of pattern design for the garment
manufacturing industry which can deliver a
perfectly fitting garment sample first time, every time.
It was developed as a result of a research and development
program
conducted in Australia and reflects international best
practice garment engineering technology.
ICCON
Technology™ is a mathematically based pattern drafting system, which
is unique in its accuracy and versatility. It
is directly linked to three dimensional body characteristics
which can be expressed via a variety of body measurements and
proportional ratios. The system was developed to support emerging
mass customisation technologies and has the potential to be
converted into electronic software. An expert system utilising
ICCON TechnologyTM would minimise operator training and increase
output accuracy. Automation of the mass customisation process
in this way would make it a viable commercial proposition with
global potential.
The three main components of this technology are:
• Pattern Block Construction
• Standard Figure Block Construction
• Non-Standard Figure Block Construction
• Block Based Pattern Development
• Three dimensional Construction Based Grading
The block and pattern
construction know-how contained in each of these components
can be applied manually or with the use
of existing PDS computer technology (Pattern Design System),
eg. Gerber, Lectra, PAD. ICCON Technology™ complements these
CAD systems, but does not replace them. In most cases it significantly
increases their effectiveness.
How do we know it works?
ICCON Technology™ Standard Figure Block Construction has already been implemented
in the Australian clothing industry
via Industry Implementation Programs, where it had proved that
it can deliver substantial financial benefits. Current users
include leading Australian fashion brands and product development
organisations. Over 200 of Australia’s leading senior
patternmakers and apparel industry technicians have been trained
in the fundamentals of this technology through specialised
courses conducted at the Kangan Batman Institute, Victoria.
