The configuration principles and functions of the non-contact three-dimensional (3D) body measurement system (BMS) developed by the Textile/Clothing Technology Corporation (TC2) are described in this paper. The advantages of this new system, compared with traditional contact body measurement instruments (Martin instruments) are discussed by selecting 40 female undergraduates of Donghua University as the scan objects. In the experiments both the Martin instruments and TC2 BMS were used respectively. According to the data of different position (Bust Circumference, Full Waist, Full Hips, Bust Height, Front Waist Height and Back Waist Height) obtained from both of the methods we can get the correlation coefficient which is close to 1, indicating that the results of both methods have comparability. Finally some suggestions for the further applications of the non-contact BMS in the apparel development of China are given.
