Textile component production systems and methods

A method of manufacturing a garment, comprising:

• creating garment design input data for a garment design, wherein creating the garment design input data includes modifying an initial generic design based at least in part on body map data, and wherein the garment design input data includes data representing a first textile structural unit at a first location in the garment design and data representing a second textile structural unit at a second location in the garment design, wherein a structure of the first textile structural unit differs from a structure of the second textile structural unit based on the body map data;
• generating a textile production machine instruction data set based on the garment design input data;
• transmitting the textile production machine instruction data set to a first textile production machine;
• forming a first garment using the first textile production machine, wherein during the forming step, operation of the first textile production machine is controlled using the textile production machine instruction data set to create the first textile structural unit at a first location in the first garment and to create the second textile structural unit at a second location in the first garment;
• receiving additional body map data relating to the first garment, wherein the additional body map data provides information specific to the first textile structural unit and information specific to the second textile structural unit;
• creating revised garment design input data for the garment design, wherein the revised garment design input data includes changes based on the additional body map data, and wherein the changes include at least one of:
• a size of the first textile structural unit in the garment design, a position of the first textile structural unit in the garment design, a size of the second textile structural unit in the garment design, a position of the second textile structural unit in the garment design, a relative positioning of the first textile structural unit with respect to the second textile structural unit in the garment design, a relative positioning of the first textile structural unit with respect to another textile structural unit in the garment design, a relative positioning of the second textile structural unit with respect to another textile structural unit in the garment design, and a total number of textile structural units in the garment design;
• generating revised textile production machine instruction data set based on the revised garment design input data;
• transmitting the revised textile production machine instruction data set to at least one of the first textile production machine or a second textile production machine;
• and
• forming a second garment using at least one of the first textile production machine or the second textile production machine, wherein during the step of forming the second garment, operation of the first textile production machine and/or the second textile production machine is controlled using the revised textile production machine instruction data set to create the second garment corresponding to the revised garment design input data including the changes.
