3D 스캔데이터를 활용한 동작별 하반신 너비ᆞ두께 변화 비교 연구 : 20~24세 여성을 중심으로

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to identify the changes in the breadth and depth measurements of women’s lower bodies with different postures, walking, stair climbing and chair sitting, to improve manufacturers’ understanding to the extent where such information should be considered when developing pants patterns with better fit and function. Lower body scan data of 13 women aged between 20-24 years were collected using a hand-held 3D scanner, Artec Eva, and digitally manipulated in preparation for breadth and depth measurements using commercially available software, Meshlab. The measurements were then statistically analyzed through SPSS 21.0 to obtain the average amounts and rates of extension and contraction for each measurement item. The results from this study demonstrated that the amount of change in the breadths and depths of the lower body differs depending on the size and range of postures, and thus the largest extension and contraction occurred in the measurements around the joints; front knee depth and knee breadth. Factor analysis confirmed these results. Factors 1 and 3, which involve knee-related measurement items, identified meaningful differences, especially in chair sitting posture, where larger joint movements are required. Therefore, the findings of this study can be applied to making key decisions in the manufacturing process, such as selecting fabrics and allowing ease values, that are likely to influence the level of fit and comfort of the pants.
