Pressure a helmet exerts on the head
Customized helmet
Correct helmet
Small helmet

What is Custom-Fit?
is:
A Paradigm where
Digital Manufacturing is
Driven by Customer Data in order to
Produce Customised Products for their Body

What are you going to change?
Customised liner
Padding
EPS

How to do it?
Start with a 3D helmet model in the computer
Scan the head
Morph the helmet design to fit the head
Make the helmet

Customer feedback
92% of the motorcyclists
surveyed feel discomfort from the seat when travelling long distances

What part(s) to change?
The Seat
Empirical + Subjective Data

Laboratory Stiffness testing:
Establish the dynamic performance of the standard seat material (benchmark)
Explore the performance of alternative materials

Create a “pseudo pocket sprung” seat
Using CAD & Computer Analysis (FEA) to
Hollow out the inside of the seat
Use the force vs. displacement curves from the laboratory stiffness tests to design individual “spring” like structures.

Using CAD & Computer Analysis (FEA):
Make an array of the “spring” like structures
Insert them into the seat according to…

…the customer defined Comfort Zones with the customer specified stiffness

Customised Seat making application

Learning Outcomes
Is the right material available?
How we will collect the data (3D scanner)?
What regulations might be barriers (CE, UL)?
Will the market pay for the added value?
