Using 3D Body Scans for Shaping Effects Testing Developed by Foundation Garment

3D scanning technology makes it possible to digitize the complete surfaces of a large number of human bodies, providing much richer information about the body shape than traditional anthropometric measurements. This technology opens up opportunities to extract new measurements for quantifying the garments shaping effects. This paper a) gives a brief description of several major body scanners, b) presents a comparison of traditional anthropometry with the measurement techniques for each scanner, c) using 3D body scans for shaping effects testing developed by foundation garment.
