Multi-functional personalized patch with therapeutic properties

This invention describes a method for creating custom skin patches using 3D printing. It starts by taking an image of a specific skin area, converting that image into a 3D model, and then using a 3D printer to build a personalized patch layer by layer. The primary purpose outlined in the claims is to camouflage blemishes, with an option to include therapeutic ingredients in specific areas of the patch.

Why it matters: Since 2018, consumer-grade 3D scanning and image processing capabilities, particularly on mobile devices, have significantly improved, simplifying the initial data capture and 3D model generation steps. Advancements in multi-material 3D printing also make printing complex, layered patches with varied properties more feasible.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
