How wide does the divers' hatch of a submarine need to be to enable fully-equipped divers to enter and exit the boat easily? To answer this question, the Human Solutions Group scanned two divers from the Eckernförde Naval Base on behalf of ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems. The 3D body-scanners of the Human Solutions Group capture body dimensions in a contact-free procedure. The device used ? the VITUS smartXXL ? takes less than seven seconds to create high-resolution, three-dimensional images of persons or objects in the form of 3D scans. This data is then used to simulate submarine entry and exit on the computer ? so the designer gets precise onscreen information about the amount of space the diver actually requires.
