In a world where personalization is king, the demand for custom-fit clothing is no longer limited to haute couture or high-end tailoring. Consumers are increasingly expecting garments that fit their unique body shapes—and they want them fast. But how can brands deliver made-to-measure clothing at scale?
The answer lies in a powerful fusion of AI and 3D body scanning, with companies like Size Stream and their Formcut solution leading the way.
Most size charts are outdated, based on narrow population samples, and simply don’t reflect the diversity of today’s consumers. The result? Poor fit, high return rates, and a growing demand for something better.
Ill-fitting clothes are more than just an inconvenience—they’re a costly problem for brands and a sustainability concern for the planet. But that’s changing.
Size Stream is at the forefront of advanced 3D body scanning technology. With years of research and development, they’ve built one of the most robust and accurate body data platforms on the market. Their solutions — used in retail, manufacturing, and research—can capture over 200 body measurements in seconds with incredible accuracy.
But Size Stream isn’t just about scanning; they’re revolutionizing body data utilization. Their platform provides actionable insights for apparel design, size prediction, and digital twin generation. It’s this data-driven approach that makes them a foundational player in the push toward scalable mass customization.
