Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1345470A2] A body-worn device is manufactured by preparing a digitised three-dimensional representation (1) of an individual's body area whereat the body-worn device shall be applied. From such digitised three-dimensional representation there are automatically determined (20) characteristic features of the individual's area as digitised. In dependency from such determining (20), the digitised representation (1) is amended in a detailing step (22). The result is a digitised representation. This detailed digitised representation controls the shell manufacturing process (36) the resulting shell of which being assembled (38) to the body-worn device. <IMAGE>A body-worn device is manufactured by preparing a digitised three-dimensional representation (1) of an individual's body area whereat the body-worn device shall be applied.
