摘要：Automated made-to-measure garment manufacturing method and apparatus. Asubject's measurements are taken with a hand held measuring device and transmitted toa computer. The computer checks to see if the customer's style preference and physiqueare compatible and if they are, an order is generated. The customer measurements arethen transmitted to a remote location for manufacture. At this location a computer has aset of co-ordinates defined for the customer's style in one size. These co-ordinates aremodified based upon the actual customer measurements to produce a modified set ofco-ordinates which in turn define the garment pieces for that customer. A control tapefor a laser cutter is generated and the garment pieces are cut and sewn together. Duringthe post cutting fabrication process, routing sheets for the garment indicate precisionassembly steps to insure a quality finished garment is produced. Finally, the customtailored suit is sent back to the retail outlet and delivered to the subject. Twoembodiments of a measuring device used in the custom manufacturing process aredisclosed. One takes only length measurements and a second takes both length and
angle measurements. Each includes a frequency modulated transmitter for sendingsignals corresponding to the measurements to a separate receiver and storage unitwhere the measurements are stored for later use in the tailoring process. In a preferredembodiment of the invention, the storage unit comprises a personal computer with avisual display that can prompt a user into taking the measurements in a predeterminedsequence.
