Abstract

Fashion is considered one of the tangible and concrete arts due to its fundamental connection to the materials used in its creation. The nature of the material and its potential for shaping, along with the influenced performance techniques, significantly influence the design structure of clothing. Therefore, the broader a designer's knowledge of various materials and their shaping possibilities, as well as the tools that can be employed, the greater their capacity for creative thinking and innovation. The process of thermal shaping of synthetic fabrics involves the application of heat through various means to these materials. This research provides an overview of the factors that have led to the use of synthetic fabrics in thermal shaping, as well as the aesthetic considerations of the thermal shaping techniques applied to the synthetic materials used. It also presents an experiment aimed at identifying the best treatments and shaping methods to control the temperature of synthetic fabrics.
