# 2018 Simpla |
Simpla is an external breast prosthesis that is designed to fit the specific contours of the wearer’s body. This project is created for women who have experienced one-sided mastectomy in which one of their breasts was surgically removed. Simpla provides a highly personalized prosthetic by using 3D scanning and printing technologies. The Simpla user takes a series of photographs of her torso and then uploads them to a dedicated Web application that generates a 3D scan of her body. Based on this scan, a base model of the prosthesis is created. This model is designed to be a mirror image of the user’s remaining breast. She can then further personalize her piece in terms of type, structure and colour.
