In the 4DSmile project, FusedWorks teamed with Finnish partners Keski-Pohjanmaan koulutusyhtyma / Kokkolai szakképzo iskola, as part of the Leonardo da Vinci / Transfer of Innovation scheme.

The project focused on creating an support tool that would aid with teaching the different stages of bag manufacture – from cutting material patterns to visualizing different design schemes. Particular attention was focused on visualising the setup of the sewing machine and overlocker machine in a way that was clear and intuitive for students.

The final product took the form of a non-linear interactive application for display on a stereo projection system run by a teacher in a classroom scenario.

Example videos from the final application:

Bag variant with textures and colours

Standard sewing machine setup

Overlock machine setup

An interactive web application of that part is available here:
