Its aim is to accurately measure an individual customer, automatically develop flat patterns and mass customise a garment. another application is the development of cyber mannequins that can be used to try on clothing for fit size and look.
Body scanning uses a white light to capture a persons silhouette from which measurement data can be extracted. Fast and painless it means less error when taking measurements, as long as the person is wearing a body suit or a snug fitting garment during the process.

Most organisations that use them are interested in in store measuring booths and potential for offering made to measure service. Current body scanning technology works by exporting measurement data to a cad system. This is then used to grade a chosen design of the nearest size to the individual measurements so that an accurately fitting custom tailored garment can be quickly manufactured. It's currently being used in a Japanese lingerie retailer to help with bra fitting and other stores in Germany, Holland and Slovenia.
