Abstract
Body scanning as a tool has been a commercially viable product with implications on clothing design and development since the start of the twenty-first century. Body scanning technology has been used extensively in national sizing surveys (SizeUK, Size USA, Size Mexico, Size Thailand, etc.) and has contributed to a number of developments in measurement, product development and assessment for fashion. Alongside the development of 3D body scanning technology there have been a number of developments in 3D software from companies like Gerber, Lectra, Optitex and V-Stitcher allowing for virtual modelling and enhancing the possibilities of body scanning in product development.
