Abstract: Continuous Positive Air-way Pressure and Bi-level Positive Airway Pressure therapy have been used to treat mild chronic obstructive sleep apnea and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. These medical conditions are associated with impaired breathing efficiency. Such therapy requires a face mask with typical leakage of air for optimal therapy. A solution to the problem of leakage of air is to design a face mask for therapy customized to individual face geometry. We used 3D scanning of individual faces using Scandy Pro. The 3D face scans were processed using Meshmixer for cleaning the meshes, closing of the objects in face and cropping the scan to get the area of interest developed in the geometry. The methodology implies creating reference planes, generating sketches with exact dimensions, patterning points, and applying boundary surface commands to achieve an optimal fit.
