Cranial Measurement
Precision fitting through anatomical understanding
Measurement Axes
Accurate headwear fitting requires understanding the three-dimensional geometry of the human skull. We measure along specific axes to ensure optimal comfort and stability.
Horizontal Circumference
Measured around the head at the widest point, typically just above the eyebrows and ears. This determines the base size of the headpiece.
Front-to-Back Axis
Measurement from the forehead center to the back of the head. This axis helps determine the depth and positioning of the design.
Side-to-Side Axis
Measurement across the head from temple to temple. This dimension ensures proper balance and prevents lateral shifting during wear.
Vertical Profile
The height and curvature of the crown area affects how the headpiece sits and how weight is distributed across the structure.
The Measurement Process
Initial Assessment
We begin with a visual assessment of head shape and proportions. This helps identify any asymmetries or unique characteristics.
Precise Measurement
Using specialized tools, we record multiple measurements at key points. These data points create a comprehensive profile of the head shape.
Fitting Considerations
Comfort Zone
The headpiece must fit securely without creating pressure points. We account for natural head movement and extended wear scenarios.
Stability Factors
Weight distribution and center of gravity calculations ensure the headpiece remains stable without excessive pinning or adjustment.
Material Response
Different materials respond differently to head shape. Our measurements inform material selection and construction methods.
Style Integration
Measurements guide design decisions, ensuring the aesthetic vision aligns with structural requirements and comfort standards.
