1. Computer-implemented method for determining at least one production value for producing a custom tailored compression garment for a limb (23), comprising the steps of:
receiving a three dimensional dataset of the limb (23) acquired using a 3D scan device (20),
evaluating the dataset to derive at least one reference information describing the position (1-14) of an anatomical feature of the limb (23) along the length of the limb (23),
determining the at least one measurement position for the at least one production value in the three dimensional dataset using at least one rule of a rule set (34), wherein each rule relates at least one reference information to at least one measurement position, and
determining the at least one production value from the three dimensional dataset at the at least one determined measurement position,
wherein the production value is associated with at least one measurement position along the length of the limb (23),
wherein a skin value, describing the circumference of the limb (23) without any applied compression, is determined as at least one of the at least one production value at the at least one associated measurement position, and
wherein, as an additional production value, a tension value describing the circumference of the limb (23) with the compression garment applying a desired compression is calculated from the skin value according to a calculation instruction parametrized by at least one parameter, the parameter being predetermined and fixed, or being derived from a tuple dataset (29) comprising multiple associated tuples of skin values and tension values.
