How They Work

Support: Reinforce arches, cushion heels, and stabilize joints.
Alignment: Improve posture and gait by correcting foot mechanics.
Protection: Reduce pressure on sensitive areas, especially for people with diabetes or arthritis.

How They’re Made

Scanning: A 3D scan captures the shape of the feet.
Design: CAD software is used to model the orthotic based on the scan data.
Printing: The design is printed using materials like TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) or PA12-CF (nylon reinforced with carbon fibre), depending on the required flexibility and durability.
Post-processing: The device is cleaned, finished, and layered with soft materials for skin contact.

Benefits Over Traditional Orthotics

Speed: Production time drops from weeks to hours or days.
Precision: Dynamic data ensures better biomechanical alignment and comfort.
Customization: Tailored to individual anatomy and movement patterns.
Sustainability: Less waste and fewer harsh chemicals used in production.
Cost-efficiency: Reduces labor and material costs over time.

Custom-Made Orthotics

Designed using foot scans or molds.
Provide precise support based on your gait and foot structure.
Used for chronic conditions, injuries, or post-surgical recovery.
Can be made as full-shoe inserts or partial supports.

Functional Orthotics

Made from semi-rigid materials like graphite or plastic.
Help control abnormal foot motion (e.g., overpronation).
Often prescribed for flat feet, shin splints, or knee pain.

Accommodative Orthotics

Soft and cushioned for comfort and pressure relief.
Used for diabetic foot ulcers, arthritis, or severe deformities.
Focus on protecting sensitive areas rather than correcting motion.

Sports Orthotics

Designed for high-impact activities like running or jumping.
Provide shock absorption, stability, and injury prevention.
Often semi-rigid to balance control and flexibility.

Dress Orthotics

Slim and low-profile to fit into formal or tight-fitting shoes.
Offer basic support without compromising style.
Great for professionals who stand or walk for long hours.

Pediatric Orthotics

Made for growing feet to correct developmental issues.
Often used to treat flat feet, toe walking, or gait abnormalities.
Updated regularly as the child grows.

3D Printed Orthotic Shells

Shell - Nylon 12 with 25%
Carbon Fibre (PA12-CF)

Short Profile: Ends near the metatarsal heads, making it ideal for low-profile or dress shoes.
No Heel Stabilizer: Without a stabilizer, the heel area remains more flexible, which can improve comfort for users with sensitive heels or fat pad atrophy.
Ultra-Thin Construction: Carbon fibre’s high strength-to-weight ratio allows for a slim design that fits easily into most footwear.

Stabilized Shell - Nylon 12 with 25% Carbon Fibre (PA12-CF)

Controls rearfoot motion: Prevents excessive rolling in (pronation) or out (supination) of the heel.
Deep heel cup: Enhances stability by cradling the heel, which improves posture and gait.
Reduces strain: Supports the heel during impact, easing stress on the Achilles tendon and plantar fascia.

Short - Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU)

Flexible yet durable: TPU offers elastic resilience, allowing the shell to flex with foot movement while resisting deformation.
Shock-absorbing: Naturally cushions impact forces, making it ideal for walking or athletic use.
Various densities: Infill percentage can be adjusted to create a harder or softer orthotic.

Full Length - Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU)

Durable TPU shell: Maintains shape and support over time, resisting wear and deformation.
Customizable trim lines: Can be modified to fit different shoe styles or foot shapes, including deep heel cups and flanges for added control.
Ideal for users who need both biomechanical correction and cushioning across the entire foot.

Kids Orthotic - Nylon 12 with
25% Carbon Fibre (PA12-CF)

Anatomical customization: Scanned from the child’s feet. Designed to accommodate rapid growth.
Targeted support: Can be designed to support specific joints or correct alignment issues like pronation or toe walking.
Dynamic correction: Some shells are designed to allow controlled movement, promoting muscle engagement rather than immobilization. Encourages proper movement patterns during critical learning phases.

Cobra - Nylon 12 with
25% Carbon Fibre (PA12-CF)

Low-profile design: Minimizes bulk, allowing the orthotic to fit into tight and narrow shoes without compromising support.
Adaptable to heel inclination: The cobra shape accommodates varying heel heights and angles.
Heel slippage prevention: Can include pads or sulcus-length extensions to anchor the orthotic securely.

Sandal - Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU)

Durable TPU shell: Maintains shape and support over time, resisting wear and deformation.
Open-Toe Compatibility: Designed to fit within open-toe styles or sandals with removable footbeds.
Ideal for those who prefer sandals year-round or during summer.

Lattice - Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU)

Highly flexible and durable.
Excellent shock absorption and energy return.
Resistant to fatigue and wear.
Composed of repeating patterns of cells, beams, and nodes.
Allows for customizable stiffness and elasticity.
Reduces weight while maintaining structural integrity.
