A Prototype Design for the Machine Used for Measuring of Wound Volume Using a 3D Scanner

Traditional methods for measuring wound volume require manual work or the integration of an expensive 3D-scanner to accurately indicate the wound depth. In this work, we propose a novel affordable machine to facilitate the process of the wound measurement. We explained in detail the process of designing our prototype machine, which effectively remove general limitations of a 3D-scanner caused by unstable movement. The prototype is capable of measuring wound volume for wounds located on most parts of the body. Its accuracy might be varied by the wound shape; however, it is of satisfactory.
