A method and apparatus for automatically manufacturing a custom fit garment is provided. The method comprises creating a pattern for the garment to be manufactured and determining at least a portion of the body of the customer to be scanned based on the created pattern and scanning at least the portion of body of the customer to determine sizing requirements for the garment to be manufactured. The method further comprises customizing the pattern for the garment to be manufactured based on the determined sizing requirement and automatically manufacturing the garment based on the customized pattern.

A system and method is provided for creating editable configurations of 3D models and for using a specific type of 2D vector, namely a straight line, to compute and display real world measurements on the 3D model. A 3D model with UV map is created corresponding to a manufacturing pattern and to scale by a Scale Factor. A 2D vector created and overlaid on the UV map of a 3D model, is used to create several virtual mesh groups outlined by the 2D vector, on the underlying 3D model. Two points on a 3D model is selected to create a 2D Vector comprising the points on the UV map corresponding to the selected points on the 3D model. The Path Length of created 2D Vector and the Real Length as Path Length*Scale Factor, are calculated.

A custom-fitted helmet and a method of making the same can comprise, at a first location, obtaining head data for a customer's head comprising a length, a width, and at least one head contour. With at least one processor, generating a computerized three-dimensional (3D) headform matching the customer's head length, width, and head contour from the head data. The 3D headform can be compared to a helmet safety standard. At a second location different from the first location, a custom-fitted helmet based on the 3D headform can be formed, wherein the custom-fitted helmet satisfies the safety standard and comprises an inner surface comprising a topography that conforms to the length, width, and at least one contour of the customer's head. The first location can be a home or a store. Obtaining the head data from photographic images of a deformable interface member disposed on the customer's head.

A min-brush for use in cleaning and clearing obstacles from within a carryover tube in a furnace. The brush having a handle coupled to a first end of a flexible shaft, a guide point coupled to a second end of the flexible shaft, and a plurality of bristles coupled along a length of the flexible shaft, the plurality of bristles having a first side located adjacent to the guide point and extending along the flexible shaft towards the handle. The flexible shaft is a stranded cable wire permitting the guide point and the bristles to navigate a 90-degree corner through a tube
