This proceedings book is based on selected and reviewed contributions from the AUTEX 2025 World Conference, held on June 1113, 2025, in Dresden, and specifically focuses on clothing technology, production, design, and education. It presents advances in digital transformation and personalization, including 3D and 4D scanning for footwear and apparel, algorithmic approaches for pattern generation, and virtual prototyping. The volume explores ergonomic design for protective equipment, functional evaluation methods, and innovative structures such as auxetic insoles. Further sections address automation through micro-factories, process optimization, and hot air welding for textile-3D print integration. Education-oriented chapters highlight sustainability integration, service learning, and virtual design training, while fashion and design topics cover AI-driven creativity, 3D printing, and valorization of marine litter for eco-conscious materials. By combining technology, creativity, and sustainability, this book provides insights into shaping the future of apparel production and design.

Reports on advances in digital apparel design, from 3D/4D scanning to virtual prototyping Chapters on innovations in ergonomic, functional, and automated textile production Presents research on sustainable, AIdriven fashion education and ecomaterial development
