Abstract

In the last decades, embroidery getting much attention in industries and academics. Although the technique is very old, it is still very much adopted. The current era of machine learning and smart devices makes this method even more attractive, easy to adopt and high accuracy. The proposed research work aims to highlight the implementation of new smart devices in this field, and the work is based on microcontrollers. Adopting the proposed work will be very easy and feasible to transform from the old sewing machine to a new smart method. Using smart devices, it is very easy and precise to get the embroidery fulfilling the user's demands. It gives simple raster images, which are used to convert into digital images to portray any new product. The current work is a novel idea of generating simple images rather than complicated ones, which are difficult to draw. In our method, we introduce the digitization process to input any image file used for vectorizing raster images, where vector images can easily convert into a DST embroidery file, a commonly used embroidery format originally from Tajima. It also has a Gcode file. The machine runs on a Gcode file which can be easily generated and runs on a product.
