3dMDhead™ System Series

The human head is one of the most clinically significant anatomical structures to monitor, measure, and quantify over time as it too includes facial movement, expression, function, and speech, which are the most demanding to capture and reconstruct with near ground truth 3D-shape accuracy. The 3dMDhead system series was purpose-built for exactly that challenge.

With 3dMD’s latest generation dynamic 3D/4D capture systems, clinical teams are no longer limited to taking one 3D image at a time… ensuring the patient’s head position and facial expression were perfect in that single instance. 3dMDhead systems enable clinical teams to capture a progressive sequence of dense-surface images over a period of time… selecting the optimal image from the sequence rather than relying on a single snap image. The advantage is immediate and practical… think traditional 2D video versus a single 2D photograph. Particularly valuable when imaging restless toddlers and young children who cannot remain still. Single-snap static 3D capture was the starting point in the early 2000s. The dynamic-3D/4D 3dMDhead system is where the technology is today in 2026.

Capturing 360-degree full head and face coverage dynamically in 3D/4D, the 3dMDhead delivers real-world dense-surface head data at the anatomical fidelity that the most demanding applications require. In addition to assessing and measuring morphological facial change, 3dMDhead data supports clinical teams in monitoring and measuring cranial morphology change throughout complex pediatric treatment cycles… from craniosynostosis, plagiocephaly, and brachycephaly through to craniofacial and reconstructive surgery. Beyond healthcare, the same near ground truth head geometry powers AI and Machine Learning morphable head model development, Computer Vision training… human factors and fit design for head-worn devices including AR and VR headsets, helmets, eyewear, and hearables… and real-world 3D/4D digital human head development for XR environments.

Whatever the application or use case, 3dMDhead systems capture and reconstruct it… in full 3D/4D dense-surface detail.

3dMDhand™ System Series

The human hand is one of the most complex anatomical structures in nature… and one of the most demanding subjects to capture and reconstruct with near ground truth 3D-shape accuracy. The 3dMDhand system series was purpose-built for exactly that challenge.

Capturing 360-degree single or bimanual hand coverage dynamically in 3D/4D, the 3dMDhand delivers real-world dense-surface hand data at the anatomical fidelity that the most demanding applications require. In healthcare, 3dMDhand data supports the assessment of hand mobility and function before and after surgery, tracks morphological change due to aging, arthritis, or injury, and provides the precise anatomical geometry needed for custom splint, orthotic, and prosthetic design. Beyond healthcare, dexterous humanoid robot hand training demands real grip dynamics, precision tool use, and bimanual coordination that sparse markers and 2D video cannot spatially reconstruct. Wearable tech and smart glove design require precise real-world 3D hand shape across diverse subject populations. Computer Vision and AI teams building hand gesture recognition systems, AR/XR UI control applications, and hand models need real-world 3D/4D hand sequences such as the MANO model by the world-class 3dMD customer team at Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, Perceiving Systems, in Tübingen.

Whatever the application or use case, 3dMDhand systems capture and reconstruct it… in full 3D/4D dense-surface detail.

3dMDbody™ System Series

The human body in motion is the ultimate real-world data challenge… capturing and reconstructing the full anatomical complexity of posture, movement, and dynamic shape change across diverse subject populations with near ground truth 3D-shape accuracy. The 3dMDbody system series was purpose-built for exactly that challenge.

Capturing 360-degree full body coverage dynamically in 3D/4D, the 3dMDbody delivers real-world dense-surface body data at the anatomical fidelity that the most demanding applications require. Unlike sparse marker motion capture systems and parametric model-dependent approaches whose output is only as accurate as the 3D model they started with, 3dMDbody captures and reconstructs the actual dense-surface 3D shape of every subject… in motion, with sub-millimeter accuracy, and without markers, suits, or synthetic inference. In healthcare, 3dMDbody data supports clinical teams in monitoring and measuring postural, morphological, and gait change throughout treatment cycles… from scoliosis and spinal deformity through to orthopedic assessment, lymphedema, and body composition analysis. Beyond healthcare, the same near ground truth full 3dMDbody geometry powers AI and Machine Learning body model development and Computer Vision training such as the SMPL model by the world-class 3dMD customer team at Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, Perceiving Systems, in Tübingen… human factors, size and fit, and ergonomic design across performance sportswear, military uniforms, protective equipment, and high-performance vehicle and workspace environments… wearable tech calibration across diverse body types… and real-world 3D/4D digital human body development for humanoid robotics training and XR environments.

Whatever the application or use case, 3dMDbody systems capture and reconstruct it… in full 3D/4D dense-surface detail.
