This article examines the fundamental relationships underlying the incorporation of a user orientation into the NPD process. Even though the importance of this type of design is gaining recognition, several fundamental relationships between user-oriented design contributions and the new product development (NPD) process and outcomes (i.e., product) remain unresearched, although they are assumed. In many ways it is the focus on deep understanding of the customer or user-what may be termed user-oriented design (UOD)-that transforms a bundle of technology with the ability to provide functionality into a “product” that people desire to interact with and from which they derive benefits. In our study we have used different computer graphics programmes in order to reconstruct and prepare the 3D body scan model for successfully importing it into OptiTex CAD programme.ĭesign offers a potent way to position and to differentiate products and can play a significant role in their success.
All these measures are taken to improve the aerodynamic design of a suit and jumper’s result. The obtained virtual prototypes of a ski-jumper and a jumpsuit enable both - fast re-modelling according to FIS rules and expeditious development and/or simulations of a jumpsuit. In order to develop an accurate and rapid design, as well as an adaptable and quickly changeable jumpsuit, different modern technologies were used. The conventional body measurement technique and development of ski-jumpers pattern are time consuming. The FIS requirements change annually or even more often in order to assure ski-jumpers’ safety during competitive ski jumps.
Namely, shape and size of a jumpsuit need to be individually adapted to each ski-jumper according to the exact requirements by FIS (Fédereation Internationale de Ski). These technologies are especially important when a garment prototype should be developed for special purpose such as ski-jumper suit. Virtual prototyping become a topic of increasing interest of both, computer graphics and computer-aided design for apparel production. In this contribution we are discussing the techniques for reconstruction of the body models and its results using the example from one of the competitive sports clothings - ski-jumper suit. However, there are also some problems related to the scanned body models, caused by the scanning technique. It enables fast and reliable capture of 3D body data and extraction of precise measurements needed for design, construction, visualisation and animation of garments on virtual mannequins.
3D body scanning technology represents a great potential for textile industries and above all for producers of garments.
