Custom Orthotic Equipment & Materials Sourcing

Foot specialists and custom-insole labs ask us about scanners, fabrication equipment and materials. Share your workflow and we will review which equipment options and materials may fit, then confirm details for your project.

From Foot Capture to a Finished Custom Insole

A custom-insole workflow usually starts with capturing the foot, then shaping the insole by removing material or building it up. CNC milling and 3D printing are alternative routes, not steps you need both of.

Foot 3D Scanning

Digital capture of foot shape as the starting point for a custom design, replacing or complementing plaster casts and foam boxes.

  • Which capture method suits your clinic
  • What file output your design step needs
  • How scans move to your fabrication route

CNC Milling

Shapes the insole by milling a solid material blank, a familiar route for labs that work with foam and EVA blanks.

  • Which blank materials and sizes you plan to use
  • Expected daily output and lab space
  • Finishing and top-cover steps after milling

3D Printing

Builds the insole or shell layer by layer from a digital design, an alternative to milling for labs exploring printed structures.

  • Which printed structures you want to produce
  • Printing materials under consideration
  • Post-processing and covering steps

Scan range (X × Y × Z)
300 × 170 × 50 mm
Scan time
5–10 seconds per foot
300 PRO — 3D Plantar Scanner

300 PRO — 3D Plantar Scanner

A non-contact laser scanner that captures the plantar surface of the foot and exports 3D data for the custom-insole design step.

Scan range (X × Y × Z)
335 × 160 × 50 mm
Scan time
3–10 s
Output
STL / OBJ / ASC
Dual-Foot Camera 3D Scanner

Dual-Foot Camera 3D Scanner

Camera-based 3D scanning of both plantar surfaces.

Scan range (X × Y × Z)
440 × 390 × 20 mm
Stated scanning error
±2–3 mm
Scan time (both feet)
<1.5 s
