3D Scanning

Case Study

The Brief

To create a Sinusitis Mask for a marketing and PR exercise. The mask had to simulate Sinusitis by adjustable screwpads putting pressure on the main sinus points of the face.

3D Scan

3D Scan

We 3D Scanned the model just around the face area. No need to capture the back of the head and neck...

Cleanup

We then took the 3d mesh and cleaned it up, quickly sculpting the back of the head and neck.

Symmetry

Because the Sinusitis Mask would be symmetrical, we mirrored the head so the mask design would fit both sides.

Sculpt the Mask
The mask needed to look plausible, and "more medical than superhero". It had to cover the sinus areas so the screws could add pressure at the correct point. Plus it had to hood the entire nose.

The Finished Design
The speed and efficiency of 3D scanning along with digital sculpting is astonishing. We had scanned and created the first design for approval within 4hrs. Our 3D scanner uses white light technology so is safe for head scans and is unparalleled in accuracy.
The design was developed through meetings with the client, where it was determined the screws needed larger heads to make them easy to tighten by the wearer.
The physicians involved with the project commented that the mast recreated sinusitis very closely.
