ABSTRACT
The future of innovation in clothing lies within wearable technologies, advanced design development processes and advanced construction techniques. The integration of functional apparel design and engineering has attracted a lot of attention in the last decade. The objective of our work is to explore new avenues that connect design and technology, and to improve upon traditional techniques in apparel product development and construction. We will discuss the techniques used in our research project to explore fast prototyping techniques including laser cutting, 3D body scanning, draping on a half scale mannequin, 3D printing, and the inclusion of wearable electronics. The use of these fast prototyping techniques can reduce the cost in production and simplify the development process [1].

Realistic Elbow Flesh Deformation Based on Anthropometrical Data for Ergonomics Modeling
ICDHM '09: Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Digital Human Modeling: Held as Part of HCI International 2009The human model for ergonomic simulation has improved in terms of its reliability and appearance and yet there seems to be less attention paid to create a realistic and accurate flesh deformation around the joint. This study, a part of ongoing research, ...
Human Body Dimensions Extraction from 3D Scan Data
ICICTA '10: Proceedings of the 2010 International Conference on Intelligent Computation Technology and Automation - Volume 023D body dimensions extracting is the basis that 3D body scanner evolve in clothing applications. In this paper, the body point cloud is acquired by 3D body scanner developed by our team. The initial point cloud is processed for reconstructed body ...
