CONFORMat® System for R&D
seating & positioning pressure mapping research
Tactile pressure measurement system utilizing a fully conforming array pressure sensor.
Pressure Mapping for Seating and Design
The CONFORMat system enables optimization of seating, cushioning, and positioning solutions through a better selection of support surfaces. Utilizing new sensor technology which conforms to complex, contoured and deformable support surfaces like seat cushions, the sensor will not capture pressure artifacts, only the loaded area. The sensor mat design eliminates sensor hammocking while it conforms to the surface, resulting in the most true and accurate pressure data.
Key CONFORMat Features:
Fully conforming sensor avoids hammocking or measurement of artifact- USB connectivity to your computer
- Fast (100 Hz) sensor scanning
- Accurate, repeatable measurements
- Real-time display of sensor data
- Recording & playback of dynamic pressure images
- Graphing and data analysis capabilities
- Durable & reusable sensors
- High spatial resolution
- Easy to set-up & portable
A Tekscan system consists of scanning electronics, software, and patented thin-film sensors. To learn more about our scanning electronics and sensor performance specifications, please visit our Technology page. Our qualified engineers will help you select the optimal system configuration to meet your application requirements.
CONFORMat Components:
Evolution® Handle(s) - Every Tekscan system uses specially designed scanning electronics called Handles or Cuffs. The electronics connect to the sensor, gather the data from the sensor, and then process and send this data to your computer via USB connection.

CONFORMat Pressure Mapping Software
Software Display: Tekscan's pressure mapping software allows the user to easily identify high pressure areas (in red), view contact area and pressure and graph the results. Pressure on the individual sensels can be assessed numerically (box, above), easing the identification of peak pressure areas.
CONFORMat Software Features:
- Capture dynamic pressure distribution
- Play-back pressure "movies"
- Display real-time and recorded data as 2-D and 3-D images
- Display of pressure, force, and area curves over time
- Export ASCII file capability
- Display data frame-by-frame, single, and/or multi-frame
- Isolate and analyze specific regions
- Display Center of Force and its trajectory
- View and compare multiple tests simultaneously
- Save as AVI movie file
The software is available in several languages including Spanish, French and German. View software languages available.
