Chinese head shape differs from Western head shape (see video below). To design products that fits the Chinese population, it is critical that you use measurements and 3D models based on Chinese head shapes. SizeChina offers 3D scans, anthropometric landmark data and physical models for Chinese head shapes through Certiform.org.

SizeChina Faceforms 2011/9/26
SizeChina has created six new Faceforms for the Chinese population. Painstakingly developed from the comprehensive SizeChina database each Faceform is a high resolution 3D anthropometric model. The models are available in 5, 50 and 95 percentiles for both males and females. These highly accurate models are suitable for use in; design, engineering, architecture or any other applications where highly accurate facial shape data is required. The models are available as both digital and physical products. The digital files are available in standard IGES format.
Head shape data and 3D scans on DVD-R
All 3D scan files are preprocessed from the original scan for maximum compatibility with CAD systems and are available in IGES and VRML formats. All scans have been checked for quality and aligned (via the Frankfurt plane) to a common x, y, z axis. Each individual CertiformTM scan has undergone substantial post-scan processing to render a high quality, data-rich digital file.
