Abstract
A system to produce a textile component of an article includes an additive manufacturing device in selective communication with a processor and memory. The processor and memory are configured to determine a strain value in a region of a textile component of a reference article based on images of the reference article from a camera in selective communication with the processor and memory and to generate a strain map based on the strain value. The additive manufacturing device is configured to apply a reinforcement to a textile substrate of a custom article to variably reinforce the textile substrate according to the strain map and to form the textile component of the custom article.

A system to produce a textile component of an article, comprising:
- a processor and memory configured to:
- determine a strain value in a region of a textile component of a reference article based on at least one stereoscopic image of the reference article from a camera in selective communication with the processor and memory, and
- generate a strain map based on the strain value;
- and
- an additive manufacturing device in selective communication with the processor and memory and configured to apply a reinforcement to a textile substrate of a custom article to variably reinforce the textile substrate according to the strain map and to form the textile component of the custom article.

- and
- an additive manufacturing device in selective communication with the processor and memory and configured to apply a reinforcement to a textile substrate of a custom article to variably reinforce the textile substrate according to the strain map and to form the textile component of the custom article,
- wherein at least one of the reference article or the custom article is an article of clothing.
A method to produce an article, comprising:
- providing a first article and a second article;
- applying, with an additive manufacturing device, a reinforcement to a textile substrate of the second article to variably reinforce at least a region of the second article according to one or more strain values and to form the second article,
- wherein the strain values are determined based on at least one stereoscopic image of the first article.
