Abstract: Seamless warp-knitted goods are developing rapidly thanks to their outstanding features such as fully-fashioned, lightweight & air permeable and three-dimensional pattern. Based on introducing the knitting principle, the paper discusses how to produce baseless fabric with seamless technology; and by taking the Model GE2396 seamless warp-knitting machine as an example, it explores the style and process design of warp-knitted seamless knitwear. During process design, the relations of machine type, raw materials and stitch structure were taken into consideration, so as to form a structure without ground pillar, which endows the fabric with light-weighted and stable structure. The design method introduced in this paper will provide technology reference to production enterprises.

Key words: warp knitting; seamless knitting; process design; CAD system
