3dMD customer Nike held #Hyperschool in NYC to demonstrate their latest innovations in product development.

Date: October 2014. During the session, attendees were invited to get their entire body captured in 3D with our latest generation 3dMDbody10 System. Attendees were surprised by the ease and speed of capture (1.5 milliseconds) and amazed by the quality of their 3dMD surface image. 3dMD is proud that our 3D technology is contributing to…

Analysis of Digital Measures of Cranial Vault Asymmetry for Assessment of Plagiocephaly. G Skolnick, S Naidoo, K Patel, A Woo.

Date: July 2014. Source: Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 25(4):1178-82. Background: Deformational plagiocephaly (DP) is an asymmetry of the skull caused by extrinsic compression. With the advent of the Back to Sleep campaign, DP is of increased interest to parents and healthcare providers. Traditionally, this asymmetry has been assessed by caliper measurements. However, little consensus exists…
