The goal of the study is to develop a novel method to manufacture the functional bras. The high precisionthree-dimensional (3D) scanner was employed to get the point cloud data. A fixed mount was invented to keep the bracup stable and decrease measuring error. A bottom holder was prepared by the 3D printer to place the bra cup duringthe injection process. Furthermore, the injection points coordinate values and the injection volumes can be determinedbased on the 3D image of the bra cup and the thickness of those positions. At last, the three-axis automatic robot whichwas coupled with a precision liquid dispenser is used to inject the microcapsules solution into the bra cup for thepreparation of functional intimate apparel. The proposed method was verified to be feasible and effective through apractical example.
