# Quick mannequin exchange

> CUBE system for swapping mannequins in seconds, so the next garment can be styled while the current one is shot.

Also known as: mannequin exchange, quick-exchange. Category: Hardware.

Quick mannequin exchange is a mounting system that lets a dressed mannequin be swapped for the next one in a few seconds. Stylists prepare garments on spare mannequins while the current one is being photographed, which keeps the photography robot busy.

## How PhotoRobot uses it

The PhotoRobot [CUBE](https://www.photorobot.com/robots/cube) has a quick mannequin exchange system. An optional storage cart transports up to six mannequins of different sizes and shapes, and PhotoRobot ghost mannequins are designed to mount on it.
