Departmental Infrastructure (Total Labs: 5):
-
Lab No.1.Apparel Designing Laboratory:
-
Apparel Designing
Laboratory is a place where students, who are budding designers,
conceptualize and create designs. The equipment in the lab include: Dress
Forms, Industrial Sewing Machines, Cutting Table/ work area, Fabric
Inspection Machine, Steam Press System with Vacuum and Display area.
-
Lab No.2.Textile Testing and Computer Aided Designing Laboratory:
-
Quality control and
process control assume great importance in any production activity. Textile
Testing Laboratory of the department has modern instruments for testing
various types of yarns and fabrics. The laboratory also houses Advanced
Textiles and Apparel Designing Softwares for making the students globally
competitive and industry ready. Students gain the knowledge of design and
draft on these softwares. Computer-aided design (CAD) systems enable
designers to view objects under a wide variety of representations and to
test these objects by simulating real-world conditions. Recent software of
designing, editing, pattern making and marker, textile designing along with
digitizer and plotter as per need of the industry are available.
-
Lab. No.3. Stitching Laboratory:
-
In the stitching
Laboratory, the students are introduced to the skills required for
converting fabrics into a sewn garment. The equipment in the lab include:
Hand operated sewing machines, Treadle sewing machines, Ironing board, Steam
Iron, Table for pattern making, Counters for cutting and Try room etc to
impart hands-on experience to students in techniques of sewing for producing
attractive garments with good fit.
-
Lab. No.4.
Dyeing, Printing and Weaving Laboratory:
-
Dyeing in textiles is a
process in which colour is transferred to a finished textile substrate of
textile material (like fibers and yarns). Dyeing and printing is known to be
an ancient technique of enhancing the look of a fabric as dyeing and
printing is considered a beautiful art of surface ornamentation.
-
Weaving Laboratory is a
place where students learn the craft of weaving. Weaving is the most popular
way of fabric manufacturing. It is primarily done by interlacing two sets
(warp and weft) of yarns in a regular and recurring pattern. Actual weaving
process is preceded by yarn preparation processes namely winding, warping,
sizing, drawing and denting. Finally the fabric is manufactured by students
on handloom.
-
Lab No. 5
Apparel Production Unit-Experiential Learning:
-
The department of
Textiles and Apparel Designing has established Apparel Production unit for
Experiential Learning and Hands on Training for Undergraduate students. The
broad objective is to provide interactive learning experience in apparel
production, to promote employment opportunities and entrepreneurial
abilities through integration of basic knowledge and experiential learning.
The experiential learning unit has been designed and developed with prime
focus to provide industrial working environment to the elective students.
The Production Unit is equipped with a number of technologically advanced
industrial machines such as Flat Lock, Bar tacking, Fusing Machine, Button
Attaching, Picoting, Computerized Embroidery Machines and Flat bed Knitting
Machine etc.
