Abstract
In this workshop, participants learned to create a custom half-scale dress forms from 3D body scans. This hands-on workshop covered the entire process of developing a custom half-scale foam dress form, starting with capturing 3D data with a Structure Sensor to assembling the final dress form from foam slices. In the first half of the workshop, Dr. Kristen Morris demonstrated how to digitally process and develop files for the dress form using Fusion 360. The presenters also showed how to slice the 3D model to extract a plan for cutting materials used in the dress forms. The second half of the workshop was spent assembling a prepared foam half-scale dress form (size 8). The presenters also demonstrated how they use the half-scale forms in their design process. Upon completion of the workshop, participants experienced the entire custom half-scale dress form creation process and left with a step-by-step process guide, and a half-scale dress form for continued use.
Highlights
The workshop began with an introduction to the overall workflow of developing a custom half-scale dress form
The participants were provided with a step-bystep handout for the entire processes addressed in this first part of the workshops
Morris demonstrated to the entire group how to clean, mirror and prepare the scan for laser cutting using AutoDesk Meshmixer and Fusion360
Summary
The workshop began with an introduction to the overall workflow of developing a custom half-scale dress form. The participants were provided with a step-bystep handout for the entire processes addressed in this first part of the workshops. 2. Digitally capturing, processing, and creating half-scale dress forms: Morris & Phoenix instructed the participants on how to capture 3D scans using a Structure Sensor. Participants took turns having a hands-on experience capturing a 3D body scan of a volunteer participant. Morris demonstrated to the entire group how to clean, mirror and prepare the scan for laser cutting using AutoDesk Meshmixer and Fusion360
