Abstract

Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for digitally customizing a product. An embodiment operates by the system generating a three-dimensional model of a portion of a body comprising a custom segment. The system then correlates the custom segment of the three-dimensional body to a corresponding segment of a three-dimensional model of the product using a correlation model unique to the product. The corresponding segment of the three-dimensional model of the product corresponding to a product metric for manufacturing the product. Subsequently, the system determines a difference between the custom segment of the three-dimensional model of the portion of the body and the corresponding segment of the three-dimensional model of the product is. Based on the difference, the system determines an adjusted metric for manufacturing the product. Subsequently, based on the adjusted product metric, the system updates the correlation model unique to the product.
