Internal measurement collection system and method of using same

A system for measuring a wearable item, the system comprising:

• a fixture comprising:
• a plurality of measurement sections that correspond to an interior portion of the wearable item, the plurality of measurement sections comprising a plurality of pressure sensors, located on outward facing surfaces of the plurality of measurement sections, configured to collect pressure data;
• a member configured to move a first pair of measurement sections within the wearable item in a first direction to measure a first internal dimension of the interior portion of the wearable item and to move a second pair of measurement sections within the wearable item in a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction to measure a second internal dimension of the interior portion of the wearable item;
• and
• a positional sensor configured to collect positional data of the fixture based at least in part on the member moving the first pair of measurement sections and the second pair of measurement sections;
• a processor in communication with the positional sensor and the plurality of pressure sensors, and configured to receive the positional data from the positional sensor and the pressure data from the plurality of pressure sensors;
• and
• a memory containing instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to:
• retrieve a device identifier for the fixture;
• identify, using the device identifier, a three-dimensional fixture model from a plurality of three-dimensional fixture models stored in a fixture database, the three-dimensional fixture model corresponding to the fixture;
• determine a change in dimension of the fixture based on the positional data and the three-dimensional fixture model;
• determine material stretch properties of the wearable item based on the pressure data;
• and
• develop an object model using the change in dimension and the material stretch properties.

A method comprising:

• using a fixture to gather positional data and pressure data of an interior of an object, the fixture comprising:
• a plurality of measurement sections that correspond to an interior portion of the object;
• a plurality of pressure sensors configured to collect the pressure data;
• a member configured to move a first pair of measurement sections within the object in a first direction to measure a first dimension of the interior portion of the object and to move a second pair of measurement sections in a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction to measure a second dimension of the interior portion of the object;
• and
• a positional sensor configured to collect the positional data based at least in part on the member moving the first pair of measurement sections and the second pair of measurement sections;
• retrieving a device identifier for the fixture;
• identifying, using the device identifier, a three-dimensional fixture model associated with the fixture;
• determining a change in dimension of the fixture based upon the positional data and the three-dimensional fixture model;
• determining material stretch properties of the object based on the pressure data;
• and
• creating a three-dimensional object model of the object based upon the change in dimension and the material stretch properties.
