“…There have been recent advances in the data possible to capture using body scanning [1], [11] and methods documented to generate patterns directly from scan data [12]- [14]. However, the creation of Proceedings of 3DBODY.TECH 2017 8th International Conference and Exhibition on 3D Body Scanning and Processing Technologies, Montreal, Canada, 11-12 Oct. 2017 pattern blocks remains something almost exclusively done manually using 1D measurements, as has been the case from the start of the methods.…”

To assume all body scanning measurements are valid for apparel product development is wrong. While human measurement forms the basis for product development and body scanning represents a significant development in the collection of human measurements [1], a distinction must be drawn between measurements suitable for product development (pattern cutting) and those required for the creation of sizing systems. The application of body scanning has largely focused on sizing surveys [2], the standards used in developing the technology are tailored toward surveys [3], [4] and subsequently measurements are often not defined in a manner suitable to developing products. This research began with analysis of product development practices and body scanning outputs to determine the suitability of body scanning to support existing methods of product development. Six methods of pattern development, established from previous research to represent the variation of approaches [5]- [7] were selected, the measurements required for these methods were compared to measurement outputs from both a Size Stream and [TC] 2 body scanner. Further analysis was made regarding the development of custom measurements for each scan system, to see if extra measurements could be defined to match those required or enhance the data used to drive the draft process. Whilst there are promising developments in automated pattern creation [8], [9], there is little existing theory or clear understanding of pattern to person relationships to enable the full realization and embedding of these systems. As well as understanding the suitability of scan measurements for pattern development, this research also recommends further measurements which may improve the patterns' ability to accord with the individual size, shape and proportion of the wearer. This research shows that there are a range of measurements used for pattern making and these are not all available from existing body scanning systems. Key landmarks and measurements are identified and this research shows how body scanning technology can be developed to support existing and developing methods of pattern development.

“…In the system, all the dimensions of fashion sketches and patterns in the height direction were calculated based on (11), (12), (13) and (14); likewise, all the dimensions of fashion sketches and patterns in the width direction were calculated based on Eq.

Currently, the work of pattern making and fashion sketch drawing is done by designers and pattern makers, respectively. The development of satisfactory garment products requires constant communication between designers and pattern makers. This process is very time-consuming. In this paper, we proposed a body-dimension-based associate design method to integrate fashion sketch drawing and pattern making. First, we accorded dimensions to fashion sketches so that fashion sketches and their corresponding patterns can be associated together by human body dimensions. Then, in the height and width directions, we constructed mathematical models considering fashion sketches, their corresponding patterns and human body dimensions. Finally, a software application based on our proposed method was developed to generate jean fashion sketches and their corresponding patterns, rapidly and automatically. The associated design of fashion sketches and garment patterns in this paper demonstrates the integration of artistic design and engineering design. This novel research idea can be further applied in other design domains. INDEX TERMS Fashion sketch drawing, pattern making, integration, associated design, parametric design, body dimensions, CAD.

“…As patterns are accepted to relate directly to the body and historically have been developed through draping as well as drafting [2][3][4], there is growing recognition that it should be possible to create these shapes directly from the body surface within virtual environments [5,6]. More recently methods have been proposed that provide more technologically developed solutions [7,8] though these still leave questions regarding pattern theory. This lack of theory highlights the striking number of assumptions that practitioners must make when generating patterns and provide the basis for discussion of the issues that need to be resolved in order to make effective automation of pattern shapes possible.…”

As woven garments are cut from flat pieces of cloth, pattern cutting methods must create flat 2D shapes that are constructed to form 3D garments that fit a particular body shape. The placement of sideseams represents a key division of the pattern where the front and back portions of a garment relating to a particular body measurement are distributed to create a balanced garment. During most pattern creation methods the distribution of the measurement into back and front arcs is proportionally determined by the author, however body scanning provides new opportunities to understand the body and derive these arcs during the measurement process. TC2 measurement software provides the facility to automatically derive arcs based on non-disclosed divisions of the body along a vertical plane. This research tests the automated division of key circumferences into arcs using the TC2 software, against methods guided by practitioner experience and placed using non-automated 3D software. Focusing on circumferences of the bust, waist and hip, analysis of the arcs derived by the scanner from a number of standard female body forms and 10 scans of female subjects, will be tested against those determined by a panel of experts. These methods form the basis for an understanding of how circumference division can be automated and allow for the testing of these methods on a variety of different scans and the comparison of the arcs against those proposed or applied in standard industry practice. It will be possible to see how closely these methods match or contrast with these imposed systems. This exploration provides a clear link to body pattern relationships and provides a foundation from which to advance mass customization utilizing body scanning technology and automated arc definition.
