New Mannequin Technology Finds Perfect Fit for Today's WomanHow many times have you tried on a pair of gorgeous jeans only to discover that they hug your body in all of the wrong places?
AlvaProducts, a leading fit model manufacturer, is helping to resolve some of the dressing room drama by offering the fashion industry a line of customized "true body shape" forms.
"We are a global fit and size expert," explained Janice Wang, CEO of AlvaProducts, to Fashion Wire Daily.
"We partnered with North Carolina State University to help major retailers and apparel manufacturers create a model of their ideal customer by using 3D body scanners."
To translate, the process begins by scanning a (live) fit model to obtain a 3D digital form.
AlvaProducts specialists than tweak this raw data to perfect body altitude, posture and symmetry.
Once the digital form gets approved by a brand or company, it is materialized into a full size polyfoam form using a CNC Rapid Prototyping Milling machine.
Last minute adjustments are made to the polyfoam version before the form goes through its final transformation using fiberglass.
