The main objective of this project is to design and manufacture custom-made glasses, modeled in Rhino 8, that perfectly fit the facial morphology of Luca, a two-year-old boy suffering from IFAP syndrome, an ultra-rare disease that only allows him to tolerate a tiny amount of sunlight each day.
To achieve a precise fit, the project relies on a detailed 3D model of Luca’s head in a file compatible with Rhino 8, the 3D modeling software that will serve as the basis for the development. This file provides an accurate representation of his facial structure, which is essential to ensure that the glasses offer maximum protection and comfort.
In addition, Grasshopper, Rhino’s parametric extension, will be used to dynamically adjust the design of the glasses as Luca’s cranial growth evolves. Thanks to this parametrization, the model can be easily adapted to future versions, ensuring that the glasses remain functional and safe as Luca grows.
