Body-ScanFIT® shows up at 2nd International Conference on 3D body scanning technologies

Nov. 2, 2011 - PRLog -- Body-ScanFIT® system http://www.cadmodelling.it/english/cadmodelling_body_scanner_bodyscanfit.html, the only portable 3D boy scanning machine, caught the attention of participants of the 2nd International Conference on 3D body scanning technologies by showing its capabilities for a variety of industries.
Digital technologies like 3D body scanner have nowadays a level of accuracy and precision that allows achieving a true and fair measurement of individuals. Laser-equipped devices are harmless to scan people and permit to perform body assessments in few seconds. But only matching the obtained linear measurements with the Theory of Body Shapes© (copyright Cad Modelling Ergonomics) will make the most of these new technologies.
Always at the forefront in supplying the best solutions to the fashion and clothing industry, Cad Modelling Ergonomics developed Body-ScanFit®, a patented system composed of a revolutionary, unique and portable body-scanner, validated by ENEA, a primary research institute in Italy. The system allows scanning any human body in few seconds, and classifying it in the proper Morphological Family (also reproduced in Formax®) to transmit data to the product pipeline.
Body-ScanFIT® is based on the first real portable and non intrusive body scanner that fits inside a standard dimensions suitcase. It’s easy to set up and user-friendly: Body-ScanFIT® can be used also by non technicians.
Through just 4 seconds scanning it assures precision and accuracy, providing useful data that can be used for several applications. Body-ScanFIT® is an Anthropometric Classification System that comprehends:
•   A unique portable 3D body scanner
•   A software for measurements extraction
•   A proprietary software for anthropometric classification, the FX-FIT, that highlights the fitting needs of any scanned body and classifies it into the proper body shape.

Key system features
•   FAST SCANNING: The system integrates innovative algorithms and harmless laser technologies for a fast acquisition process: 4 seconds are enough to scan any human body, from 80 to 230 cm.
•   PORTABILITY: Thanks to years of research and development, the entire system fits in a single suitcase and thus can be easily transported.
•   HIGH ACCURACY AND HIGH QUALITY: The scanning process is extremely accurate and precise (error allowance of 5 mm). Thanks to the high quality of the digitization, there is no need to neither change nor improve manually the acquired data.
•   FAST INSTALLATION AND USER-FRIENDLY INTERFACE: Body-ScanFIT® is installable in less than 10 minutes (including calibration). Assembling, disassembling, calibrating, scanning and all the other functions are simple operations that everybody can afford.
•   RAMS: Strength, solidity, availability, reliability, maintenance, safety fully guaranteed. The scanner is designed in order to be assembled and disassembled thousands of times. Every component is carefully tested.
•   VERSATILITY: The system runs under Windows XP, Vista, Seven. It can be used with PCs and Laptops equipped with USB and Firewire 400 plugs and generates output files in the mostly used formats. The generated data can therefore be imported in most of the measurement extraction and reverse engineering software, CAD, etc.
•   PRIVACY: The scanner assures complete privacy during the acquisition process thanks to the auto scanning procedure through autoscan wire controller.

The system plays an important role in the mass customization of garments and in made-to-measure as well as in the realization of ergonomic products and even in nursery and automotive fields, ex. baby car seats, strollers, prams, pushchairs. Digital effects studios demonstrated a big interest for the possible applications during film making
The number of possible applications grows every day. This is a demonstration of the quality of Body-ScanFIT® system from Cad Modelling Ergonomics.
