3D Scanning and Use of 3D Measure Up and Rhinoceros Software in Anthropometric Data Collection: An Analysis of Accuracy, Limitations, and Advantages Compared to Manual Methods
摘要
This study aims to validate the application of 3D body scanning using 3D Measure Up and Rhinoceros software by analyzing the reliability of the extracted data. Data from 25 participants (9 men and 16 women) were analyzed. The circumferences (chest, waist, hip) showed excellent reliability, demonstrating the best balance between accuracy and consistency. 3D scanning technology has revolutionized fashion design, enhancing measurement accuracy and enabling the development of patterns tailored to body diversity. Its application benefits clothing standardization, the creation of garments for specific demographics (such as the elderly, children, and people with disabilities), and the design of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), ensuring comfort, safety, and inclusivity. In conclusion, digital methods are viable for volumetric measurements in fashion and ergonomics, with Rhinoceros showing superior overall performance. Recommendations include: (1) algorithmic refinement to reduce measurement overestimation and (2) the adoption of specialized scanners for greater precision.
