In order to synthesize possible variations of fingertip, we analyzed individual differences in geometry of skin, distal phalanx and middle phalanx using principal component analysis. Volume registration technique was employed to quantify individual differences of fingertip from MR images of 50 male subjects. As a result of the analysis first, second and third components are turned out to correspond to difference in length, contortion and warpage of fingertip. Possible variations of fingertip was synthesized from these three components.
