Brief : To create parametric models of infant lower leg and foot to be able to generate individualized braces based on key measurements
To streamline key measurement requirements
To speed up the workflow and improve scalability
Areas of work :
Development of parametric model of lower leg and foot based on key measurements
Development of brace based on leg model, with associated closures and fitment details
Development of scripts to generate Voronoi meshes over selected areas of the brace based on lightness, comfort and strength
Testing and comparison of generated braces against 3D scans of the limbs and manually sculpted braces
Toolset :
Fusion 360
Grasshopper
Status :
The resulting cycle time per brace has gone from 30 hours of highly skilled labour to 15 mins of data operator work.
The product is now under large-scale beta-testing.
