A helmet liner that is custom-fitted to a wearer's head, and methods of making the liner, are provided. To make the liner, scanning equipment directly scans the person's head to generate computer-readable data containing a surface map of the head. This data then is used by suitable machining equipment to machine a custom-fitted liner from a universal liner blank, whose resulting convex surface will substantially conform to the shape and contour of the person's head. The scanning equipment desirably is or includes one or a plurality of lasers. A mobile platform including both the scanning and the machining equipment also is provided.
