New Mannequin Technology Finds Perfect Fit for Todays Woman
How many times have you tried on a pair of gorgeous jeans only to discover that they hug your body in all of the wrong places?

AlvaProducts, a leading fit model manufacturer, is helping to resolve some of the dressing room drama by offering the fashion industry a line of customized "true body shape" forms.

"We are a global fit and size expert," explained Janice Wang, CEO of AlvaProducts, to Fashion Wire Daily.

"We partnered with North Carolina State University to help major retailers and apparel manufacturers create a model of their ideal customer by using 3D body scanners."

To translate, the process begins by scanning a (live) fit model to obtain a 3D digital form.

AlvaProducts specialists than tweak this raw data to perfect body altitude, posture and symmetry.

Once the digital form gets approved by a brand or company, it is materialized into a full size polyfoam form using a CNC Rapid Prototyping Milling machine.

Last minute adjustments are made to the polyfoam version before the form goes through its final transformation using fiberglass.
