Remote manufacture of furniture covers

摘要

A method of remotely manufacturing a cover for an article, such as a piece of upholstered furniture includes the steps of: ascertaining dimensional data of the article, and relating the data to individual portions of the article, determining a group of physically inter-related templates associated with these individual portions. Each template is definable on a plane of co-oridinates and is derived from a series of mathematical functions evaluated using this data, and using each template to form a corresponding cover piece and joining the cover pieces to form the cover for the furniture article.
