Abstract

A 3D CAD is one of latest innovations in apparel industry. Despite a rapid progress of related technologies and an emergence of several commercial products in markets, an adoption of 3D CAD tools in apparel industry is much slower than originally expected. In an effort to diffuse such a technological advance in apparel industry, more behavioral studies of why and how apparel designers adopt and use a 3D CAD are needed. Toward that goal, this study aims to identify more about whether such an adoption decision would be more associated with organizations or individuals. Using TAM and TOE framework, the study findings show that the intention to adopt 3D garment CAD is more explained by individual attitudes rather than organizational characteristics.
