"Algorithmic couture β" is a mass customization service that provides module garments generated by machine learning algorithms. Based on the 3D data of the human body, this service automatically generates a pattern of each wearer and automates the design process of the pattern-maker. The generated pattern is optimized on rectangular cloth like Tetris and achieves zero-waste pattern cutting. Furthermore, the design of the garments generated by machine learning is made up of modular patterns, allowing users to customize shapes, materials, colors, materials that match their tastes in the online platform.
