Comparison of development methods of movable arm of male draping dress form

In order to solve the existing problems such as non-standard size and inconvenient activities of the arm of dress form in current market, based on the latest collection of young male body size data, the forward and reverse modeling technology were used to build arm model. And two kinds of shoulder joint fittings were designed. The products were manufactured by rapid prototyping technology to realize free rotation of the arm at 90° coronal plane and 360° sagittal plane, which can meet the needs of draping fixation, and provide the necessary tools for garment sleeve design. The subjective and objective evaluation compared results show that the comprehensive performance of product with damping hinge by using forward modeling technology was better. In order to further improve the modeling effect, the forward and reverse hybrid modeling technology is suggested in the modeling building of the arm of dress form. This method provides technical reference for related production enterprises.
