Abstract
The paper highlighted a new method that can be used to construct a customised compression garment for athletes. The garment must be able to exert high pressure on the ankle and become lower towards the knee. The garment was generated using 3D data of an athlete’s body segment obtained by a non-invasive non-contact measurement system. Then, a 3D compression garment was generated using a novel modelling approach taking into account the properties of the fabric, how much pressure to be exerted and the curvature of body parts. The 3D garment model was then flattened into a 2D compression garment pattern design. Finally, an experiment was conducted to validate the system. The outcome of the research is a system that not only allows for the design of a customised compression garment, but also could be used to create a variety of compression garment that can exert different pressure.
