What is 3D Scanning?
3D scanning has revolutionised the orthotic industry by providing precise and efficient methods for designing and manufacturing orthotic devices. This technology allows for detailed digital imaging of a patient’s anatomical profile of the treated limb or area, resulting in highly accurate and customised orthotic solutions.
Below are the proven benefits of 3D Scanning and how it might be suitable for you:
Precision and Accuracy
- Explanation: Captures exact dimensions and contours of the foot and ankle.
- Benefit: Ensures a perfect fit, enhancing comfort and effectiveness of orthotic devices.
Customisation
- Explanation: Creates bespoke orthotics tailored to individual needs.
- Benefit: Addresses specific medical conditions and personal requirements more effectively.
Efficiency
- Explanation: Reduces the time required for measuring and molding.
- Benefit: Speeds up the production process, resulting in faster delivery of orthotic devices.
Consistency
- Explanation: Provides uniform and repeatable results.
- Benefit: Ensures reliable quality across multiple devices.
Non-Invasive Process
- Explanation: Eliminates the need for plaster casting.
- Benefit: Enhances patient comfort and convenience during the fitting process.
Data Storage and Analysis
- Explanation: Stores digital scans for future reference and comparison.
- Benefit: Facilitates ongoing patient care and monitoring of changes over time.
Accuracy of 3D Scanning
3D scanning offers unparalleled accuracy in capturing the intricate details of the foot and ankle. The digital models produced can be accurate to within a fraction of a millimeter, ensuring that the orthotic devices manufactured are highly precise and effective. This high level of accuracy leads to better fitting orthotics, which can significantly improve patient outcomes by providing optimal support and comfort.
