In a market increasingly turned to globalization and considering the time of crisis, it is fundamental to guide companies toward a targeted production based on real anthropometric studies carried out in different countries. CAD Modelling Ergonomics offers a system to standardize all these data and provides solutions for Mass Customization in order to increase sales and save resources.
CAD Modelling Ergonomics, taking advantage of the large database built over more than 40 years, provides innovative solutions for the textile and clothing industry; the Formax® anthropometric mannequins, tailoring dummies, or more precisely the real anatomy, made on the basis of real shapes and volumes of the human body. The company, to provide innovative solutions to its customers, developed Body-ScanFIT® system, the only 3D portable body scanner in the world. The easy setup and calibration make it the right tool to get body volumes and forms in few seconds. Exploiting the extensive know-how in anthropometrics, CAD Modelling Ergonomics developed the fit apparel mannequins Formax®, anthropometric dummies for fitting activities of garments and the design of ergonomic products.
These dummies are built on the Theory of Body Shapes© by the founder and owner of the company Silvio Quattrocolo. According to this theory each person can be classified into the proper morphological family. Fx-FIT software, which helps in the identification of the correct body shape of the scanned subject, is the added value of the entire system; by a comparison between the subject and the anthropometric database, it is possible to identify the correspondent body shape for both the upper and lower part of the body, providing important information to apparel manufacturers on how to guarantee the perfect fit and comfort. Some brands that for years have relied on CAD Modelling Ergonomics’ solutions are D&G, Gucci Kids, Coin/Oviesse, Silvian Heach, Zara, Britax and many others.
