The grant-in-aid project with Benilde, titled ‘Perfect Fit’, will use computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing software, design visualisation to establishment an integrated textile product development process to produce a Philippine standard sizing system using a 3D body scanning system, according to a PTRI release.

DLS-CSB joined DOST-PTRI as the academe partner and research arm. (DS)
