Beyond BMI for self-estimates of body size and shape: A new method for developing stimuli correctly calibrated for body composition. N Maalin, S Mohamed, RSS Kramer, et al.
A potential contributory factor to the rise in obesity is the failure of people to recognise weight gain. If we, or our health services, cannot accurately index body size, then the appropriate compensatory behaviours which might reduce weight will not be undertaken.
Posture-Invariant 3D Human Hand Statistical Shape Model. Y Yang, T Yuan, T Huysmans, WS Elkhuizen, F Tajdari, Y Song.
It is concluded that the proposed posture correction approach can effectively improve the accuracy of the hand SSM and therefore enables its wide usage in human-integrated digital twin applications.
An exploratory study of bust measurements during running using 4D scanning technology. J Pei, L Griffin, SP Ashdown, J Fan, B Juhnke, C Curry.
The purpose of this research was to introduce the use of 4D scanning technology to understand breast shape in motion. Twenty-six female participants who identified themselves as wearing Missy Size 18 were recruited for scanning. Three most common bust measurements were tracked in dynamic states and compared with the static state.
Designing and utilizing 3D-printed skin incision guides during the first Dutch bilateral hand-arm transplantation. S Hummelink, AS Kruit, SER Hovius, DJO Ulrich.
This study believes 3D printed templates usage increases time efficiency, improves the match of skin flaps in donor and recipient arms, and allows us to control the amount of skin surplus without skin flap tip necrosis. In these procedures where time is of the essence, this team believes pre-operative planning is imperative for its success.
Statistical Shape and Pose Model of the Forearm for Custom Splint Design. F Danckaers, J Van Houtte, BG Booth, F Verstreken, J Sijbers.
A 3D scan database of 200 healthy subjects (100 men and 100 women) performing hand motions was gathered using a 3dMD scanner. All subjects were scanned performing a movement at a frame-rate of 7.5 fps, resulting in ±100 scans per subject. Based on those scans, a new SSM was built with the help of the artificial SSM.
Feasibility of 3-Dimensional Facial Imaging and Printing for Producing Customized Nasal Masks for Continuous Positive Airway Pressure. K Duong, J Glover, AC Perry, et al.
A customized mask fabricated for each subject using 3dMD facial scanning and modern additive manufacturing processes.

The detection of the upper boundary of breasts using 4D scanning technology. J Pei, L Griffin, SP Ashdown, J Fan.
One of the first studies that investigates the vertical displacement and the shape deformation of breasts during running using 4D scanning technology. Ultimately, the method and results can increase the understanding of breast kinematics, and benefit the product design of bras, especially for sports bras, and other products for women that require a close fit to the torso.
