Adaptation of Warli art on Apparels through CAD by using Heat Transfer Printing Technique

India boasts a rich and diverse tradition. Its textiles feature a wide array of unique designs and are renowned for their distinctive and unmatched motifs. Every area in India showcases its own unique style and pattern of art, commonly referred to as folk art. One of the most recognized forms of Indian folk paintings is Warli art, originating from the state of Maharashtra. Traditionally, these Warli paintings were created by hand, which involves a labor-intensive and time-consuming process. However, with the passage of time and the availability of various printing methods, these artworks can now be printed on fabric using different techniques. This study aims to create a Warli painting from Maharashtra suitable for printing on clothing products. A total of thirty designs were created using software like Adobe Photoshop and Corel Draw, with ten designs each for apparel, including kurtis, suits, and sarees. All the designs were visually evaluated by a panel of thirty judges to select the top two designs from each category. The chosen designs were then applied to the apparel using a heat transfer printing method. The cost of each item was determined by calculating expenses related to raw materials, labor, finishing, and profit margin.
