Improving inclusion and accessibility in custom breast forms using highly innovative inert resin to produce rapid custom moulds in an agile and de-medicalised process.

Boost的客户已经表明，他们不想为了技术而出现一定程度的并发症、小题大做、正在进行的医疗化或技术。他们想要一种产品，帮助他们的衣服舒适地贴合他们的身体，他们想要感觉自信和舒适。我们知道这一点是因为女性告诉了我们；通过我们以人为中心的设计活动，让160名女性参与联合设计活动，以及我们与700多名Boost Breast Form佩戴者社区的持续客户关系。接受乳房全切除或部分切除并接受相关治疗尤其令人力不从心。Boost对乳房外形进行了创新的重新设计，在某种程度上提供了更多的选择和赋权，特别是对于那些没有被乳房假体设计假设所满足的有色人种女性。该项目将提供一项可行性研究，为以照片为中心的3D打印材料化学开发的世界领先者创造一种改变游戏规则的惰性3D丝材的用例过程。我们将成为这种创新树脂的测试者。我们希望突破有机硅制造的界限，挑战定制是独一无二的、高端的和昂贵的观念。我们将提供一个项目，这将是有史以来第一次，生产3D可打印模具，将允许我们的最软的铂固化，医用级硅胶从Mouldlife模压成型，而不会抑制固化或影响产品质量。我们将探索输入到定制过程中的最低可行数据，以确保能够在负担得起的技术参数内有效地捕获女性的整形需求，以确定她们的整形足迹和投影要求，并构建这项服务的交付路线图，使定制乳房整形成为一种包容性的选择，而不是排他性的选择。我们认为，这将特别解决乳房假体行业的偏见，该行业目前提供的主要是白色标准的轮廓和颜色处理方法，没有考虑到许多女性所需的多样性、幸福感和比例。我们的项目最终将提供一个解决方案，以填补现成和昂贵的高端定制乳房形状之间的市场空白，这些乳房形状可以复制、缩放和调整，以满足世界各地女性的需求。

Boost's customers have shown that they don't want levels of complications, fuss, ongoing medicalisation or tech for tech's sake. They want a product that helps their clothes to sit nicely against their bodies, they want to feel confident and comfortable. We know this because women have told us; both through our human-centred design activity engaging 160 women in co-design activity and our ongoing customer relationships with our 700 plus community of Boost Breast Form wearers. Having a full or partial mastectomy and experiencing the associated treatment is particularly disempowering. Boost's innovative re-design of the breast form has gone some way towards offering more choice and empowerment, particularly for women of colour who have been underserved by breast prosthesis design assumptions. This project will deliver a feasibility study that will create a use-case process for a game-changing inert 3D filament from Photocentric, world leaders in the chemical development of 3D printing materials. We will become beta-testers for this innovative resin. We want to push the boundaries of silicone manufacturing and challenge the idea that customisation is exclusive, high-end and expensive. We will deliver a project which will, for the first time ever, produce a 3D printable mould that will allow our softest platinum cured, medical grade silicone from Mouldlife to be moulded without inhibiting the cure or compromising the quality of the product. We will explore the minimum viable data to input into the customisation process, to ensure that women's shaper needs can be effectively captured within affordable technological parameters to identify their shaper footprint and projection requirements, and build a route-map for the delivery of this service that will make a custom breast shaper become an inclusive option, as opposed to an exclusive one. We think this will particularly address the bias of the breast-prosthetic industry, which currently offers a predominantly white-normative approach to shape contours and colour finishes that does not account for the diversity, wellbeing and proportions that many women require. Our project will finally deliver a solution to fill a market gap between off-the-shelf and expensive, high end custom breast forms that can be replicated, scaled and adapted to meet the needs of women around the world.
