Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clothing fit is a major cause of frustration for consumers today. The current sizing systems for women in the US are based on a study that is over 6 decades old. The greater influence of ethnic diversity along with changes in lifestyles since the 1940s is making our bodies look differently. New technology is allowing the rapid and accurate ability to determine the true shape of human bodies through 3D body scanning. No attempts have been made to study body shapes and sizes using the 3D body scanner until this pilot study. A computer program was developed to derive a numerical difference in body measurements between those of the subjects and those defined by all current and past sizing standards demonstrating that the current sizing system is insufficient. Three methods were developed in the Best Fit software to ascertain the sufficiency of the standards: percentage difference, tolerance difference, and weighted tolerance difference. Even though the CS215-58 was the most chosen standard for the best fit in the percentage difference, 30% of the measures in that standard deviated more than 5% from the subject's measurements. For the tolerance difference, the ASTM5586-95 was the most chosen standard and had an average of 14 measurements (out of 23) that were out-of-tolerance as compared to the subject's measurements. For the weighted tolerance difference, the ASTM 5586-95 (women over 55) database was the most chosen. If each of the 23 measurements for a subject were out-of-tolerance to the most severe amount, then the subject would get a score of 69. This study had an average score of 20 for weighted tolerance. A new shape identification software was developed through the computer program of Visual Basic Pro called FFIT (Female Figure Identification Technique) for Apparel. Nine shape categories were identified: 'hourglass', 'oval', 'triangle', 'inverted triangle', 'rectangle', 'spoon', 'diamond', 'bottom hourglass', and 'top hourglass'. The bust, waist, hip, stomach, an.

Download or read book Three dimensional Body Scanning written by Justin Ryder and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: INTRODUCTION: Accurate body composition assessment is crucial for determining health consequences due to excess body fat (BF). While several techniques exist there are few that are accurate, non-invasive, fast, and comfortable for subjects. The Three Dimensional (3D) body scanner is a new body composition assessment method that might serve as another option for investigators and practitioners. The purpose of this study was to determine the accuracy of the 3D body scanner at measuring body composition using dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and Air displacement plethysmography (Bod Pod) as criterion measures. The 3D body scanner was evaluated on its ability to work with differences in normal versus overweight subjects as determined by BMI. Also, a new prediction equation was created and compared to that of an existing equation used by the 3D body scanner developed by the Department of Defense (DoD). METHODS: Eighty-Five male subjects (21.70 ± 2.28 yr old; 81.00 ± 12.21 kg; 25.37 ± 3.40 kg/m2 ) completed all body composition assessment techniques on the same day. Tests preformed included: DXA, Bod Pod, and 3D body scanning. Subjects did not eat or drink 2 hr previous to testing and did not exercise 4 hr previous to testing. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 17.0. Bland-Altmand plots, Pearson correlations, and a oneway ANOVA comparing means were performed. A prediction equation (3D MU) was created using a stepwise regression based on correlation to DXA. RESULTS: Mean comparison of body composition techniques were as follows: DXA BF 16.30 ± 4.67; Bod Pod 12.17± 7.19; DoD 13.53 ± 6.43; 3D MU 16.49 ± 4.16. 3D MU had a SEE=3.09 over the entire sample compared to DoD SEE=3.67 and Bod Pod SEE=2.45. Although body volumes of Bod Pod and 3D Scanner were highly correlated (r = 0.984; p =0.001), the 3D Scanner underestimated body volume. Improvement in making consistent estimations of head, hand, and feet are necessary for the 3D body scanner to be used for body composition assessment. CONCLUSION: Although the 3D body scanner shows promise as a method of evaluating BF, more work is needed before it can be considered an acceptable laboratory method of assessment. A 3D MU prediction equation was created that appears to be more accurate for young men than the current DoD equation. 3D body scanning shows potential as a method for determining body composition in overweight subjects.

Download or read book Sizing in Clothing written by S Ashdown and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2007-04-11 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The basic concepts behind sizing systems currently used in the manufacture of ready-to-wear garments were originally developed in the 19th century. These systems are frequently based on outdated anthropometric data, they lack standard labelling, and they generally do not accommodate the wide variations of body sizes and proportions that exist in the population. However, major technological improvements have made new population data available worldwide, with the potential to affect the future of sizing in many ways. New developments in computer-aided design and sophisticated mathematical and statistical methods of categorizing different body shapes can also contribute to the development of more effective sizing systems. This important book provides a critical appreciation of the key technological and scientific developments in sizing and their application. The first chapter in the book discusses the history of sizing systems and how this has affected the mass production of ready-to-wear clothing. Chapters two and three review methods for constructing new and adapting existing sizing systems, and the standardisation of national and international sizing systems. Marketing and fit models are reviewed in chapter four whilst chapter five presents an analysis of the grading process used to create size sets. Chapters six and seven discuss fit and sizing strategies in relation to function, and the communication of sizing. Mass customization and a discussion of material properties and their affect on sizing are addressed in chapters eight and nine. Military sizing and the aesthetics of sizing are detailed in chapters ten and eleven. The final chapter reviews the impact on sizing of production systems and specifications. Written by an international team of contributors, this book is an essential reference to researchers, designers, students and manufacturers in the clothing and fashion industry. Provides a critical appreciation of key technological and scientific developments in sizing and their application Discusses how developments in sizing affect the mass production of ready to wear clothing Reviews methods of constructing new and adapting existing sizing systems
