Hi Product Hunters! I’m Jon, co-founder of TrueContour (https://truecontourmasks.com/). We’re making fully-custom face masks using 3D face scans that can be taken on any iPhone with a front-facing TrueDepth camera. Having a mask that’s made custom to your face allows it to be incredibly comfortable and protective while also being transparent and reusable. Today we’re so excited to be launching our first mask, the TC1, on Kickstarter (https://www.kickstarter.com/proj...)! I’ve been working with 3D printers for a long time now. My last company, Voodoo Manufacturing, ran a 200+ 3D printer factory in Brooklyn, NY where we made all sorts of parts & products. I’ve always looked for great opportunities to apply digital design/manufacturing tools to products in order to make them significantly better than they were before. When the pandemic hit, there was a lot of speculation around using 3D printing to make custom face masks. However, at the end of the day, I never thought it made a ton of sense. But then I realized that 3D printing could be used as just a step in the process, which would open up the possibility of making a transparent mask. After a few months of prototyping, we arrived at the TC1 Mask. I can tell you from wearing one over the past few months that it’s significantly more comfortable than any other mask I’ve worn. And having it be transparent makes a big difference in my ability to communicate with those around me. The bigger point here is that **masks inhibit our ability to connect with people**. I for one have had many experiences where not being able to see someone’s face made it noticeably more difficult and stressful to communicate. We hope that with the TC1 Mask people can keep themselves and those around them safe while maintaining human connection and communication. Beyond casual use, we think the TC1 could be hugely impactful for people across a variety of professions - teachers, nurses, restaurant workers, flight attendants and many more. We’re so excited to finally be putting our mask out into the world and can’t wait to hear what people think. Thanks so much for taking the time to read this - we’d love to hear what you think of our mask and are happy to answer questions you might have. Cheers!
