s our readers probably know
us as leading CAD/CAM producers in the market, we
have to go on and continue developing new solutions and enhancing
our existing products.
One of the greatest successes of
Booria was the presentation of
the new generation of Robotuft
(hand-tuft robot). After the successful introduction of Robotuft
during 14th International Exhibition
of Textile Machineries in Tehran and
afterwards Domotex 2009, this robot attracted many visitors, especially carpet and rug producers.
Robotuft has been the major goal
of Booria R&D team during the
previous year. Considerable modifications in robot structure and its
tufting unit, with continuous development on Robotuft CAD software
moved this well designed combination forward so that it surpassed its
competitors and fixed its place in
tufted carpet market.
Booria keeps the progress of Robotuft capabilities at the top of its
future plans and will present you
the latest innovations time by time
through designer. So stay with us!
Meantime, Booria has always been
constant in its scoring, i.e. continuous progress of its software development and has released the new
Booria Carpet Designer 7 which
is compatible with Windows Seven,
Vista and XP. This software is now
presented with outstanding new
GUI (Graphic User Interface) and
dozens of new features and enhancements.
Besides, Booria has developed 3D
Carpet Designing Software which
has been one of the revolutionary
steps to get much closer to market
trends. By this means, producers
will be able to exert more effects
and variety in their products.
Booria always welcomes the new
technologies and is aiming to have
its considerable role in applying
them through its innovative products.
Booria’s business agenda always includes the development of its software products which obviously approves the strong will to satisfy the
customers

innovation in carpet industry,
brings revolutionary effects to your
carpets.

3D Carpet, No limits for creativity
3D
carpet production is no more a fantasy
it is producible reality.
For the producers who creativity
and innovations matters, now creating carpets with
variable pile heights is no more a dream. All theses
keys to success in carpet designing and production can
be achieved by using Booria fabulous combination of
Robotuft (hand-tuft robot) and Carpet Designer.
3D carpet or better say variable pile height effect on a
carpet is a trend which market inquires nowadays for
this fashion based product more and more.
But there were bottle necks in this type of carpet
production due to complexities of designing and
production as below:
:: Smooth pile height increase is a key factor in
3D effect creation. So to prevent pile height
fluctuation, designers should do a huge effort to
design correctly to have it smoothly. This difficulty
creates the first problem.
:: 3D effect should be very clear and any pile height
toleration can emerged from the carpet design
and reduce the clearance of the effect.
:: The third problem was how this effect will look
on a carpet. Imagining the final product and how
the final product would look alike was another
problem. Dose it create a good appearance or
not? The imagination of this effect needs very
good brain stream to lead to a good design.
:: Finally how to produce this effect?
In case of Robotuft (hand-tuft robot), we should develop
a system to feed yarn to tufting needle in different
length as the tufting gun moves without any stoppages
6/designer 2010
or significant tufting speed reduction.
Booria with its bundle (Carpet Designer software and
hand-tuft robot) solved all these problems and this
wonderful effect can be created easily and just in
time.
Booria Carpet Designer Robotuft edition with 3D carpet
designing plug-in solved the first two problems. It
means that now designer can easily design the 3D
carpet in the software and simulate the final result in
3D to see what will be happend after production. And
from now on, creating beautiful designs with smooth
pile variations is no more a headache.
Designer can also check the final product after 3D
simulation and eliminate designing errors. Meanwhile
they can play easily with variable pile height settings to
fine tune the 3D effects to visulize the final product.
Finally the 3D tufting accessories - which can be added
to robot based on customers’ inquiry - can finalize the
whole procedure. Just transfer prepared file to control
unit and the robot without any stoppages will produce
the variable pile height effect on your carpet.
This effect can be created with all yarn types even
fancy yarns which widen the range of produced carpet
collections.
All these capabilities which added to design software and
robot simultaneously, make this bundle unique and help
all market oriented producers creates fantastic carpets
and rugs without any hesitation. These innovations by
Booria R&D team make our customers rely more and
more on our designed to lead products

Robotuft plug-in
R
obotuft plug-in has one of the highest
priorities in software development of Booria.
This advanced plug-in developed dedicatedly
for preparing vector files ready to tuft on special tufting
robots. It presented to international market in 2008
during Domotex exhibition. This plug-in developed
according to customers’ inquiries and needs to be able
to design pixel based and have the ready to tuft file in
vector format. After preparing designs, ability to define
vector and filling type are the main characteristics of
this plug-in.
tufted with same yarn.
• Faster 3D Carpet rendering: Now you can get the
simulated 3D Carpet much faster than before.
• New "Direction" option in Zigzag filling
• New "Open Zigzag Ends" option in Zigzag filling
• Ability for defining Cut or Loop status for each
node: By this new advanced feature you will be
able to have cut piles and loop piles not only in
one layer but also their combination even in one
single vector.
• Viewing Combined Design function for 3D BRT files:
Following the market trends and customers’ inquires;
Booria took another step to include innovations in
Robotuft plug-in which led to a new product called
3D Carpet Designer. This fantastic tool provides
the carpet and rug producers with the possibility of
producing carpets having different pile heights. This
feature was primarily considered to prepare designs for
robot, aiming both the simulation and preview of the
design and data conversion so that hand-tuft robots
would be able to tuft 3D rugs and carpets.
By this new feature you can see the combination
of design and height information together to have
the better visulization of 3D designs.
New "Cut & Loop Switching Nodes" dialog for
defining the switching commands for changing
the pile types from cut to loop or vice versa.
By using the new "Roll Back Nodes" you can
add these types of controlling points for easier
production and backward controlling in robot
