Embodiments relate to methods for generating at least one custom pattern for use in garment construction, the method comprising receiving scan data relating to a three dimensional scanned body; receiving input regarding a garment use case; selecting at least one compression value based at least in part on the garment use case; calculating at least one negative ease dimension based on the at least one compression value; and modifying predetermined garment pattern dimensions based on the at least one negative ease dimension to generate the at least one custom pattern.

A custom-fitted helmet and a method of making the same can comprise, at a first location, obtaining head data for a customer's head comprising a length, a width, and at least one head contour. With at least one processor, generating a computerized three-dimensional (3D) headform matching the customer's head length, width, and head contour from the head data. The 3D headform can be compared to a helmet safety standard. At a second location different from the first location, a custom-fitted helmet based on the 3D headform can be formed, wherein the custom-fitted helmet satisfies the safety standard and comprises an inner surface comprising a topography that conforms to the length, width, and at least one contour of the customer's head. The first location can be a home or a store. Obtaining the head data from photographic images of a deformable interface member disposed on the customer's head.

A centralized command and control network system for the automated manufacture of a personalized custom-fit garment comprises a centralized control system; automated programmable manufacturing equipment configured for assembling and stitching the personalized custom-fit garment from a digital pattern; and automated programmable material handling equipment configured for transporting the personalized custom-fit garment or its components through each step of the manufacturing equipment. After the customer has had his or her body scanned, and selected and personalized a garment design, the inventive manufacturing system will then manufacture the garment upon receipt of the order in an automated manner without requiring further substantive manual intervention or touch labor. The resultant personalized custom-fit garment is based on the customer's three-dimensional body shape and style and fit preferences. The system can be used to prepare any kind of garments.

The present invention relates to methods of fitting for pre-fabricated compression garments via digital imaging of a wearer body part and measurement of body part circumferences and, optionally, lengths therefrom. The present invention also relates to methods of generating a shape description derived from digital imaging of a patient body part or body area of interest and use of such shape description. Such shape description includes geometric information from which measurement information can optionally be derived. Included herein are methods for diagnosing and monitoring edema and other conditions in patients using shape descriptions acquired from a patient in need of such diagnosis and monitoring. The invention also includes use of the generated shape descriptions to make compression garments specifically configured for a patient's body part or body area. Compression garments generated from the generated shape descriptions are also included herein.

Systems or methods for anatomy patterning a garment are provided. Anatomy patterning is any deliberate manipulation of a garment's pattern in order to change the perceived shape of a wearer of the garment toward a desired appearance. Additionally, the garments that result from use of these systems and methods for anatomy patterning are also provided.

Systems and methods for anatomy shading and the garments that result therefrom are provided herein. More specifically, anatomy shading is any deliberate manipulation or addition of shading (a brightness gradient) to a garment in order to change the perceived shape of a wearer of the garment toward a desired appearance.

There is described a system for providing an interface for product personalization by generating or modifying garment patterns and associated code files. The system processes the extracted measurement attributes and user preferences using generative design models and customization data from a control panel of tools at the interface. The system involves an interface to display a visualization of a garment and uses output of a modeling system to support the visualization. The interface has the control panel of tools to customize, modify or generate garment patterns and associated code files.
