Atacac sharewear no.4

We believe in open source fashion

As a part of our belief in transparency Atacac would like to share the pattern and 3D-model for this garment. As per our philosophy, this garment is free to download. However, we appreciate your support of our development by donating 10€ or 30€. 

Description

Atacac loves bodies. Whenever it is possible we drape our garments on living bodies, be it ourselves or whoever comes by. Still, sometimes we need to turn to the rigid dress-stands as a body substitute. We have some thoughts regarding draping on dress-stands that we share in Chapter 2.4 and Chapter 2.6 of Kinetic Garment Construction.

In order to make dress-stands slightly more like human bodies we developed a new detachable arm for draping on the dress-stand. Unlike traditional dress-stand arms it has a hand and a thumb.
It even has an elbow!
And a gusset construction in armpit makes it possible to lift it upwards like a real arm. When we need the arm to be straight we simply pin the elbow together.

The arm measures 20 cm around the wrist, 32 cm around the biceps and 77 cm from armhead to fingertip.

You can buy an arm proudly made in the Atacac micro factory or you can download the pattern and try to make an arm yourself.

When downloading you will get 4 different files. A png illustrating the arm, a pdf ready for print, a dfx that can be imported into any CAD/CAM software and a ZPrj with the pattern assembled in 3D. The ZPrj file can be viewed and  altered in CLO.
