Digital Fitting Essentials

Sizes
Data-based Decisions
3D and 4D scans provide crucial data for creating fit and comfort expected by all members of a target group. Yet, so many size charts and measurement tables are based on generic dimensions or unrelated data. Realistic visualization starts with relevant measurements.

Avatars
Fit Forms and Busts
Avatars in countless variations are used to design across sizes and project brand image. For true product development, the right avatars are crucial and must represent the sizes and shapes of the actual target group.
More
Visualization
Digital Product Communication
Also known as sugar-coated simulation, it presents the product in its perfect state. For displaying products online (without exact fit) or providing instructions to suppliers, a picture can be worth a thousand words.

Fit in Motion
4D Scanning & Moving Avatars
Movement affects fit and appearance. Likewise, fit can restrict or enhance movement. Designs and simulations must consider the dynamic postures of your customer group, especially in sports and workwear.

Pattern
Virtual Patterns and Sewing
A solid pattern is the pre-requisite for good fit and consistent manufacturing. The 3D pattern is the fundamental staring point for valuable simulation, virtual sewing and realistic visualization.

Material
Digital Textile Parameters
Realistic simulation depends on accurate, consistent material characteristics measured through textile physical testing and interpretation. These digitized parameters must meet the various requirements of different software systems.

3D Fitting
Digital Prototyping
Whether digital or analog, product design goes beyond the visual. It requires knowledge of body shapes, construction techniques, material properties and garment systems. Even the most amazing software output depends on informed input.

Training
Team and Supplier Education
Getting the most out of your digital investment involves knowledge of basic fit and pattern principles as well as 3D techniques. It helps to get your suppliers are on board too.
