The World Engineering Anthropometry Resource (WEAR) is a group of interested experts involved in the application of anthropometry data for design purposes. The members and partners are from around the globe. WEAR is a non-profit organisation registered in Europe.

WEAR is a subscription service that provides access to more than 68 datasets containing body measurements for more than 127,980 subjects as well as data from CAESAR North America and ANSUR. Being able to browse and download 1D data sets is really valuable.

The 3D data set contains over 13,200 3D body scans and can be purchased separately. Please note the body scans are very high quality and have matching landmark files. They also have corresponding 1D data measured using traditional techniques that meet the quality standards of ISO, CAESAR North America and ANSUR. 

Click here for a list of what you would get if you purchase the 3D data set. Purchase is 1,000 Euros or 500 Euros for WEAR members (plus postage and handling). To purchase go to:Purchase Data. If you are not a member currently and want to purchase at a discount you must first join WEAR or the non-member price will be charged. Click here to Join WEAR 

WEAR has sponsored the open access publication of a book on using anthropometry for design.
