iSize - International body dimension portal

To broaden their scope for action and address all their markets efficiently, companies nowadays need reliable and representative international data material for calculating various different body sizes.

With iSize, apparel manufacturers can integrate their customers into the product development process from the outset. On www.i-size.net, target groups can be individually selected and compared with the existing sizes table, which can then be automatically optimized. The modified dimensions are clearly indicated. The adapted sizes tables can now be used in both cad.assyst. and as a scanatar in vidya - and can flow into your product development right away. You gain decision-making reliability in product development — plus dependable planning in marketing, sales, production and logistics.

iSize was developed by Human Solutions together with the Institut Français du Textile et de l'Habillement (IFTH) and the Hohenstein Institute. The international body dimension portal has won the Texprocess Innovation Award in 2011.
