Abstract

BALNEAIRE partnered with the Lycra Group to establish the country's first collaborative laboratory. This research integrates Liquid Lycra Technology and AI-driven bionic structural design to optimize pressure distribution in shapewear swimwear. By combining advanced material science with computational design techniques, the study aims to enhance comfort, functionality, and aesthetic appeal. A systematic methodology was employed to analyze material properties, simulate pressure distribution, and validate results through experimental testing. The findings demonstrate significant improvements in pressure uniformity and wearer comfort, providing a transformative approach to shapewear swimwear design.
