Before a hat can be blocked to fit a specific person, someone needs to measure that person’s head shape accurately — not just a circumference, but the actual contour. That’s what a conformateur is for: a mechanical head-tracing tool that transfers a precise head shape onto paper, ready to compare against or trace directly onto a block pattern.
A Classic Tool, Rebuilt to Print
Original conformateurs are rare antique instruments. Formillionaire’s DIY conformateur reproduces the same working principle as a build-it-yourself 3D-printed kit, including a 2-in-1 version, so made-to-measure hat making and historical hat reproduction don’t depend on tracking down an original.

Prefer a Simpler Method?
If a full conformateur build is more than you need, the brim plate generator works directly from a hand-traced paper outline instead — photograph it, and Formillionaire converts it straight into a sized 3D plate.
