Development of Basic Pattern Blocks for Men’s Wear Applying 3D Body Scanning Technology

At present perfect garments fit is a common demand of every customer. Most of the customer rejects most of the garments for fit purpose. Actually, shapes of human figure types changes the lifestyles of the customer. The shapes of human figure types continue to change mainly due to sedentary lifestyles, dietary habits, migration patterns and the impact of rising trends that affect body shape ideals. (Apeagyei, 2008; Workman& Lentz, 2000; Tamburrino, 1992a;1992b and 1992c). Generally, the most notable differences in body size and shape relate to ethnic diversity, age and gender. In principle, females are smaller than their male counterparts except in hip dimensions. With age increase, many adults become shorter and many also heavier (Kroemer & Grandjean, 1997). This necessitates regular monitoring of human measurement especially for the achievement and provision of adequate clothing. Anthropometric research nonetheless can be time consuming and costly. As well as being considered proprietary, precise, detailed information on applications, techniques and resulting data is not easily accessible in the public domain. In this research, the author tries to ensure a standard patter block for specially men’s wear. This pattern block can apply on manufactured purpose. In the following the specific objective of this research are discussed below:
