Mass Customization with Geomagic Software Today
Hearing aids are developed today using mass-customization technology from Geomagic with Geomagic eShell. Specific dimensions of an individual’s ear shape (canal and bowl) are measured and modeled digitally. A hearing aid is “custom manufactured” using rapid manufacturing machines to specifically match the person’s ear for a perfect fit.
Shoe manufacturers begin to apply custom manufacturing to produce better fitting shoes, performance and sports footwear, and ski-boots. By scanning and modeling the customer’s foot, and using manufacturing machines that can take digital input from the foot model for computer aided manufacturing are possible, and in demand. Better fitting clothes beyond S/M/L/XL sized and mass-produced clothing is what consumers will come to expect, but at a competitive cost.
Professionals performing dental and medical reconstruction to improve the quality of life for their patients use Geomagic mass customization technology and software to model perfect-fitting crown and bridges from digital model data captured from a patients teeth. The Geomagic Dental solution leads the way in dental reconstruction modeling technology. Orthopedic surgeons performing knee surgery can model and practice knee, hip, and other joint surgery using digital models of a patients damaged or failing joint.
