October 7, 2026 - Keynote - Invited Speaker - Craig Crawford, Differently Enabled

The Digital Tailor by Differently Enabled:
Engineering a Parametric Pipeline for Complex Human Geometries

Craig CRAWFORD, CEO/CTO, Differently Enabled, UK

Differently Enabled

"Following our 2024 call to action at 3DBODY.TECH, we return with a major milestone: securing an Impact Acceleration Account (IAA) grant via the University of Manchester to develop The Digital Tailor.

Forged at the intersection of a 36-year global fashion transformation career and a personal experience with differently enabled needs following a 21-day covid-19 coma, our approach flips traditional sizing on its head: clothing must adapt to the person, not the other way around.

Technology can measure a body, but it cannot understand what it feels like to live in one. The Digital Tailor is not merely a scanner or fitting app - it is an empathetic, personal parametric pipeline that turns complex human geometries into regional, made-on-demand engineered clothing.

Born from adaptive fashion, this platform unlocks an untapped $18 Trillion annual global market - enabling brand and tech partners to capture the 'Purple Pound' alongside adjacent sectors like petite and plus-size fashion.

Join us to explore how evolving from static sizing to dynamic digital tailoring creates massive financial value for tech and brand partners while restoring dignity, self expression and choice to fashion."

Craig Crawford is CEO/CTO of Differently Enabled.
"Craig is the only person in IT who really understands this business" - Angela Ahrendts former CEO Burberry.
For seven years as Burberry’s VP IT Strategy, Architecture, Relationships, Craig Crawford united C-level executives driving Burberry's digital transformation internally and at retail.
As a creative with nearly 30 years experience in global fashion brands, Craig is often referred to as 'the right brain of IT." He makes decisions that change the face of Information Technology driving momentum and growth with improved business connectivity through digital innovation for brands such as Amiri, Diane von Furstenberg, Hugo Boss, Jaeger, matchesfashion.com, MaxMara, and Tory Burch.

September 10, 2026 - Digital Manufacturing in Orthopedics - Add-on Workshop at 3DBODY.TECH 2026

We are pleased to announce the second pre-conference add-on workshop, held the day before the main event.

Digital Manufacturing in Orthopedics - Add-on Workshop

Add-on Workshop on Digital Manufacturing in Orthopedics: How to move from plaster casts and manual modeling to an equivalent digital workflow, all the way from 3D scanning to functional design and manufacturing using 3D printing.

Lecturers:
Antonius KÖSTER (GM), Antonius Köster, Germany and Steffen MATYSSEK (Director R&D), TOplus, Germany.

Description:
A traditional plaster cast is not simply a copy of the patient's unloaded skin surface. While the plaster is setting, the orthopedic technician applies professional judgment for positioning, compressing, and correcting directly on the patient. The workshop will demonstrate live how to transfer this professional judgment into a transparent and reproducible digital workflow with the help of TOplus scanning frames.
Mr. Matyssek uses TOplus systems in daily orthotics and prosthetics practice. He knows the practical requirements as well as the variations that can occur with individually produced plaster casts. Mr. Köster will contribute with experience in digital modeling and process development.
The lecturers will teach and demonstrate the complete workflow: alignment, positioning & correction; 3D scanning; 3D data preparation; 3D digital modeling; and functional manufacturing.
The workshop is intended for orthotics and prosthetics professionals, but also for researchers, developers and educators who want to learn and understand how digital body data is transformed into functional, patient-specific products.

Time and duration:
Monday 19 Oct., afternoon, 2.5 hours
Limited number of participants.

Fees:
100 CHF, for registered attendees
150 CHF, workshop only (not attending the main event)
Registration required.

The IEEE Standards Association will participate at 3DBODY.TECH 2026 as BRONZE exhibitor.
IEEE Standards Association standards.ieee.org

The IEEE Standards Association Industry Connections program brings together focused interest groups to address standards related considerations in emerging technology areas.
The Industry Connections 3D Body Processing group brings together an ecosystem of players to co-develop an assessment of standards needs and to propose new standard(s) around enabling 3D body processing which includes the capture, processing, storage, sharing and (augmented) representation for "Of-the-body" and "On-the-body" technologies.
This exploration includes identification and classification of types and uses cases for 3D body processing; identification of gaps in existing nascent standards and recommended practices as 3D body processing spreads beyond first adopters; identifying needs and develop proposals for new standards and best practices for 3D body processing and adjacent technologies (like 2D augmented reality); identifying guides and recommendations for consuming or using body measurements, to better understand the benefits and limitations of this type of data.
