WHY
2
3D Scans of the hand are time- and labour-intensive, but necessary to produce personalized products like surgical instruments, orthoses and prosthetics. This research developed a dedicated and affordable 3D Handscanner.
HOW
1
The user-friendly device simultaneously takes multiple pictures of the hand from different angles and combines these almost instantly into a highly detailed and accurate 3D surface scan of the hand using photogrammetry.
WHEN
TRL
The prototype is further improved from a system level, enhancing userfriendliness for user and patient. Possible other applications, for instance in customised sportswear, are explored.
