The paper presents part of a comprehensive and complex investigation in the field of computer design
and 3D garment simulation within which it investigates developed computer-based parametric prototype
of a men's suit and whether it is suitable for computer adaptation according to measurements of different
body characteristics. The investigation was conducted by segments. It was necessary to do tests and
measurements using innovative computing technologies and appropriate measuring equipments. Using
the 2D/3D CAD system for the preparation of garment construction, a 2D pattern was developed for
the purpose of computer grading for selected sets of sizes according to different figures and statures.
The scanning data process was performed through using a 3D laser scanner and a computer analysis
was made with anthropometric measurements of the body on a sample of male subjects of different
anthropometric body characteristics. The most complex part of the research was finding mathematical
expressions and comprehensive development of a men's suit model with the aim of translating 2D pattern
parts from vector into parametric format, which allows simultaneous changes in several corresponding
segments of pattern pieces.
