SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CUSTOM FORMING A PROTECTIVE HELMET FOR A CUSTOMER'S HEAD

摘要

A custom-fitted helmet and a method of making the same can comprise, at a first location, obtaining head data for a customer's head comprising a length, a width, and at least one head contour. With at least one processor, generating a computerized three-dimensional (3D) headform matching the customer's head length, width, and head contour from the head data. The 3D headform can be compared to a helmet safety standard. At a second location different from the first location, a custom-fitted helmet based on the 3D headform can be formed, wherein the custom-fitted helmet satisfies the safety standard and comprises an inner surface comprising a topography that conforms to the length, width, and at least one contour of the customer's head. The first location can be a home or a store. Obtaining the head data from photographic images of a deformable interface member disposed on the customer's head.

1. A method of making a custom-fitted helmet, comprising:
at a first location obtaining head data for a customer's head comprising a length, a width, and at least one head contour; generating, with at least one processor, a computerized three dimensional (3D) headform matching the customer's head length, width, and head contour from the head data; comparing the 3D headform to a helmet safety standard; and at a second location different from the first location, forming a custom-fitted helmet based on the 3D headform wherein the custom-fitted helmet satisfies the safety standard and comprises an inner surface comprising a topography that conforms to the length, width, and at least one contour of the customer's head.
