  • Publication number: 20240143867
    Abstract: A helmet selection/customization process, which comprises obtaining a 3D scan of a user's head; identifying a retail helmet variant that would fit the user's head; providing the user with an option to select the identified retail helmet variant or design a custom liner for a base helmet; and in case the user selects to design a custom helmet, causing generation of a 3D model of a custom liner based on the 3D scan and a 3D model of the base helmet. The method includes determining, based on the 3D scan, parameters associated with the user's head; and accessing a database storing parameters associated with a plurality of retail helmet variants, wherein the identifying is carried out based on processing of the parameters associated with the user's head and the parameters stored in the database, so as to identify one of the variants in the plurality of retail helmet variants.

  • Publication number: 20230016881
    Abstract: Methods and systems for customizing wearable equipment such as athletic equipment, including ice skates and protective equipment such as masks. For example, a hockey goaltender mask may comprise a shell a liner attached to the shell, the liner being customized for a face of a user. The liner may be produced using a customized mold. Such customized mold may include a base mold and at least one attachment attached to the base mold; wherein each of the at least one attachment is characterized by at least one feature determined based on computer processing of data representative of the face of the user.
