Global Sampling

SizeGlobal uses 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 body 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 ear 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 50/50 sample 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 and comfort for all genders.

Age Diversity

The ears are one of the parts of the body that continue to grow as we age. Many conventional ear surveys exclude certain ages, SizeGlobal’s sampling include individuals of all ages, ensuring a more accurate reflection of the ear as it ages. SizeGlobal’s ages ranges

18-30

31-50

51-80+

Importance for Fit

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

3D Scan File formats

3D Scan file sizes ranges from 60MB - 80MB

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.

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.

Statistics File Formats

All SizeGlobal statistics tables are in xlxs file format.
