High-quality 3D garment reconstruction plays a crucial role in mitigating the sim-to-real gap in applications such as digital avatars, virtual try-on and robotic manipulation. However, existing garment reconstruction methods typically rely on unstructured representations, such as 3D Gaussian Splats, struggling to provide accurate reconstructions of garment topology and sewing structures. As a result, the reconstructed outputs are often unsuitable for high-fidelity physical simulation. We propose ReWeaver, a novel framework for topology-accurate 3D garment and sewing pattern reconstruction from sparse multi-view RGB images. Given as few as four input views, ReWeaver predicts seams and panels as well as their connectivities in both the 2D UV space and the 3D space. The predicted seams and panels align precisely with the multi-view images, yielding structured 2D--3D garment representations suitable for 3D perception, high-fidelity physical simulation, and robotic manipulation. To enable effective training, we construct a large-scale dataset GCD-TS, comprising multi-view RGB images, 3D garment geometries, textured human body meshes and annotated sewing patterns. The dataset contains over 100,000 synthetic samples covering a wide range of complex geometries and topologies. Extensive experiments show that ReWeaver consistently outperforms existing methods in terms of topology accuracy, geometry alignment and seam-panel consistency.

Recent advances in 3D mesh generation have enabled the creation of visually realistic assets. However, much of their visual fidelity is encoded in textures rather than geometry. When such assets are fabricated using monochromatic materials, texture information is largely lost, causing visually important details to disappear even when the original geometry is faithfully preserved. A key challenge is that the geometric perturbations required to recover texture-dependent appearance cues often introduce sharp local features and high-frequency surface structures, which may increase stress concentration and fabrication risk. In this paper, we present GenMF, an appearance-oriented geometry refinement framework for monochromatic fabrication. GenMF transforms texture-dependent visual cues into geometry-induced shading effects and formulates geometry refinement as a balance between appearance preservation and fabrication-oriented robustness. To discourage structurally and narrow the gap between simulation and physical manufacturing, we further introduce a differentiable stress-aware regularization based on a learned thermal-stress predictor. Experimental results demonstrate that GenMF significantly improves appearance preservation under monochromatic rendering while reducing stress concentration under a consistent thermo-mechanical simulation setting. Physical 3D printing examples further show that the refined geometries preserve more recognizable visual details while remaining suitable for fabrication. These results suggest that appearance-aware geometry refinement provides an effective bridge between generated 3D assets and fabrication-ready monochromatic objects.
