Global Sampling

SizeGlobal utilizes an inclusive sampling approach that acknowledges the diverse ancestries shaping global populations. By including three of the most significant population groups, our datasets capture the nuanced variations in head sizes and shapes essential for optimizing product fit. The proportions of ancestries are:

Chinese 200

White 200

Black 100

Importance for Fit

By capturing the varying head sizes and shapes across different ancestries, we facilitate the development of products that fit a broader range of populations, enhancing inclusivity and customer satisfaction.

Gender Equality

Anthropometric surveys, particularly those conducted within military contexts, can exhibit a bias towards male subjects. Recognizing the importance of gender equality in sampling, SizeGlobal delivers an equal 50-50 ratio of male and female subjects.

Importance for Fit

The gender-balanced sampling used by SizeGlobal has significant implications for product design and development. By considering the anthropometric variations between males and females, we facilitate the development of products that can offer optimal fit for all genders.

Age Diversity

Unlike many conventional anthropometric surveys that exclude certain ages, SizeGlobal's sampling embraces age diversity. SizeGlobal’s datasets include individuals of all ages ensuring a more accurate reflection of the population.

SizeGlobal’s ages ranges

18-30

31-50

51-80+

Importance for Fit

The inclusive age sampling we use has far-reaching implications. In fashion, healthcare, and product design understanding age diversity is essential for fitting a broad customer base effectively.

All SizeGlobal 3D Scan files are delivered in two formats.

1.STL Format.

A Standard Tessellation Language (stl.) file is the industry standard for design and engineering purposes. The STL format allows for seamless integration into CAD softwares and is ideal for 3D printing applications. Typical file size is 80Mb

2. OBJ Format.

An OBJ file contains three separate files: obj, mtl, and png.

OBJ: An OBJ file (.obj) is a surface file constructed of polygons that represent the 3D geometry of each subject's face. OBJ files are commonly used in CAD and 3D printing applications.

MTL: A Material Library File (.mtl) contains the color and texture information of each subject's face. The texture files include 37 anatomical landmarks for convenient usage.

PNG: A Portable Network Graphic (.png) is a 2D thumbnail graphic file representing the scan subject. It is typically utilized in PowerPoint presentations, websites, and printed materials.
