To dimension a product, the designer needs to analyze what product dimensions are important and what relation there is between the human dimensions and these product dimensions. There is a lot of information available about human dimensions, presented in various ways, from tables to 3D digital human models.

Thus, based on the analysis, a choice needs to be made from the available information. The focus of this reader will be on the use of 3D digital human models (DHM) in the dimensioning part of the design process.
