Designing and simulating a “mass selective customization-centralized manufacturing” business model for clothing enterprises using 3D printing

Purpose Global economic growth provides new opportunities for the development of clothing enterprises, but at the same time, the rapid growth of clothing customization demand and the gradual increase of clothing costs also pose new challenges for the development of clothing enterprises. In this context, 3D printing technology is injecting new vitality and providing a new development direction for the vigorous development of clothing enterprises. However, with the application of 3D printing technology, more and more clothing enterprises are facing the problem of business model innovation. In view of the lack of relevant research, it is necessary to carry out exploratory research on this issue. Design/methodology/approach The business model canvas method was adopted to design business model for clothing enterprises using 3D printing. The simulation model of the designed business model was constructed by a system dynamics method, and the application of the designed business model was analysed by a scenario simulation. Findings Mass selective customization-centralized manufacturing (MSC-CM) business model was constructed for clothing enterprises using 3D printing, and a static display was carried out using the BMC method. A dynamic simulation model of the MSC-CM business model was constructed. The future scenario of clothing enterprises using 3D printing was developed, and a simulated enterprise was analysed. The results show that the MSC-CM business model has a good application value. The simulation model of the MSC-CM business model performs the function of a business strategy experiment platform and also has a good practical application value. Research limitations/implications The MSC-CM business model is only a typical business model for clothing enterprises using 3D printing. It is necessary to further develop other business models, and some elements of the MSC-CM business model need to be further improved. In addition, the MSC-CM business model simulation uses a general model, which is not suitable for all clothing enterprises using 3D printing. When the model is applied, the relevant enterprises can further adjust and optimize it, thereby improving the validity of the simulation model. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first paper on the MSC-CM business model for garment enterprises using 3D printing. Secondly, it is the first time that the business model of clothing enterprises using 3D printing has been simulated. In particular, the proposed business model simulation provides the possibility for testing the business strategy of clothing enterprises using 3D printing. In addition, a positive attempt has been made in the collaborative research of using both a static display business model and a dynamic simulation business model.

Construction of xAPI-based Multimedia Interaction Technology in Architectural Design Teaching

Architectural design involves both aesthetic design and mechanical calculation. It is not limited to theoretical graphics, but also needs practical support. Traditional multimedia teaching only provides static display of design drawing and passive teaching. In this mode, students cannot understand design philosophy well, students’ creativity and imagination are restricted, and the problem of learning differentiation due to difference of individual students cannot be solved. Hence, a teaching software that makes use of FLASH for display and is based on xAPI multimedia interaction technology is put forward for architectural design in this paper. Remarkable achievements of its application in teaching have been made, which is helpful to arouse students’ interest in courses, deepen students’ understanding of design, and relieve students’ learning score differentiation due to individual difference of students’ learning ability.

IMPLEMENTASI LIBRARY 3.0 DI PERPUSTAKAAN IAIN SALATIGA: MASALAH DAN SOLUSINYA

<p><em>The development of technology information influence a library in costumers services. The use of World Wide Web is getting more sophisticated than ever. From web 1.0 with static display of information, it turns to become a web 2.0 in which users can create comments while consuming the information. Now, with the development of web 3.0, the features of web services have been added with more executed in part of users. This article will further describe the implementation of web 3.0 at library of State Institute For Islamic Studies (IAIN) Salatiga. The author remains that the use of web 3.0 does not necessarily mean replacing the use of theancestors, but it just a combination instead.</em></p><p><em>Perkembangan teknologi informasi mempengaruhi perpustakaan dalam layanan pengguna. Penggunaan website semakin canggih dari sebelumnya. Dari web 1.0 dengan tampilan informasi yang monoton, menjadi web 2.0 di mana pengguna dapat membuat akun sendiri dan menikmanti informasi. Sekarang, dengan perkembangan web 3.0, fitur layanan web telah ditambahkan dengan lebih menarik lagi bagi pengguna. Artikel ini akan lebih menggambarkan pelaksanaan web 3.0 di perpustakaan Institut Agama Islam Negeri (IAIN) Salatiga.

Contrast Configuration Influences Grouping in Apparent Motion

We investigated whether the same principles that influence grouping in static displays also influence grouping in apparent motion. Using the Ternus display, we found that the proportion of group motion reports was influenced by changes in contrast configuration. Subjects made judgments of completion of these same configurations in a static display. Generally, contrast configurations that induced a high proportion of group motion responses were judged as more ‘complete’ in static displays. Using a stereo display, we then tested whether stereo information and T-junction information were critical for this increase in group motion. Perceived grouping was consistently higher for same contrast polarity configurations than for opposite contrast polarity configurations, regardless of the presence of stereo information or explicit T-junctions. Thus, while grouping in static and moving displays showed a similar dependence on contrast configuration, motion grouping showed little dependence on stereo or T-junction information.

The sexual behaviour of the pygmy newt, Triturus pygmaeus

The courtship behaviour of pygmy newts, Triturus pygmaeus, consists of three phases: orientation, static display (often not clearly differentiated from each other) and spermatophore transfer. The repertoire of male sexual behaviour consists of nine different movements. Exhibition, an alert posture in which the male advances with small jumps around the female, is the most frequent behaviour. The predominant tail movement is slow fan, in which the tail is softly undulated from approximately 30° to 140°. In contrast to the tail lashes of the large Triturus species, the tail only occasionally beats against the male's flank and never touches the female. Bait mimic tail movements (described for T. boscai as flamenco) are used to attract the female's attention. The duration of sexual encounters was 2203 s on average, in which males displayed in about 81% of this time. Although the courtship of T. pygmaeus shows clear differences from that of its closest relative, T. marmoratus, it should nevertheless be grouped with the larger Triturus species: conspicuous tail movementes are used to attract the attention of the female, but no direct response is required of her to complete the courtship. En el cortejo de los tritones enanos, Triturus pygmaeus, se pueden distinguir tres fases diferentes: fase de orientación, fase de exhibición estática y fase de deposición del espermatóforo. Las dos primeras no se distinguen claramente, sino que frecuentemente se alternan entre sí. Los machos de esta especie realizan nueve pautas diferentes relacionadas con el comportamiento sexual. Entre ellas, destaca la que denominamos exhibición , en la que el macho, en una posición de alerta con todo su cuerpo muy estirado, realiza pequeños saltos alrededor de la hembra. Este comportamiento, que es el que se observa con mayor frecuencia, parece tener un papel importante como señal visual en el cortejo. Otra pauta importante por su frecuencia es la denominada abanico lento, en la que los machos ondulan lentamente su cola, a la vez que abren y cierran el ángulo (que oscila entre 30° y 140°) que ésta forma con su cuerpo. Otra pauta característica es el latigazo corto, un movimiento brusco de la cola similar al de otras especies de tritones, de las que se diferencia porque la cola sólo ocasionalmente alcanza a golpearse contra su propio cuerpo y nunca llega a tocar a la hembra. Se describe en esta especie una pauta de engaño, flamenco, en la que los movimientos de la cola imitan a los de supuestas presas con el fin de atraer rápidamente la atención de la hembra. Esta pauta había sido descrita anteriormente para T. boscai. La duración media de los cortejos fue de 2203 s, en los que el 81% de este tiempo los machos elaboran pautas de cortejo. Aunque el cortejo de T. pygmaeus muestra claras diferencias con la especie próxima, T. marmoratus, se considera que debe ser clasificado en el mismo grupo, entre los tritones de mayor tamaño, en las que el cortejo se caracteriza por el uso de comportamientos muy conspícuos para la atracción de la hembra, y en el que no se requiere un respuesta directa de la hembra para realizar la deposición del espermatóforo.
