Our Technology
Combining 25 years of clinical expertise with cutting-edge 3D scanning and printing technology for orthotics of unmatched precision.
Precision Through Technology
Traditional orthotic manufacturing relies on messy plaster casts and subjective craftsmanship. We use advanced digital technology to capture, design, and manufacture orthotics with unprecedented accuracy.
3D Foot Scanning
High-resolution optical scanning captures your unique foot geometry with sub-millimetre accuracy.
CAD Design
Computer-aided design allows precise customisation of every aspect of your orthotic.
3D Printing
Selective laser sintering (SLS) technology creates orthotics that are lighter, stronger, and more precise.
3D Foot Scanning
Capturing your unique foot shape with precision that traditional methods simply cannot match.
Sub-Millimetre Accuracy
Our optical scanner captures thousands of data points to create a precise digital model of your foot, accurate to fractions of a millimetre.
Fast & Comfortable
The scanning process takes just seconds and is completely non-contact. No messy plaster, no cold foam boxes, no discomfort.
Digital Record
Your scan is stored digitally, allowing for easy replication or modification of your orthotics in the future without rescanning.
CAD Design
Computer-aided design transforms your scan data into a precisely engineered orthotic.
Digital Precision
Once your foot is scanned, the digital data is processed using sophisticated computer-aided design (CAD) software. This allows us to make precise adjustments to every aspect of your orthotic design.
Unlike traditional methods where modifications are made by hand, CAD design ensures consistency and accuracy. Every angle, every curve, every millimetre is calculated and verified before manufacturing begins.
The software also allows us to simulate how the orthotic will function, helping to predict and optimise its performance before it's even made.
SLS 3D Printing
Selective Laser Sintering technology manufactures orthotics that outperform traditional methods in every way.
What is SLS Printing?
Selective Laser Sintering uses a high-powered laser to fuse nylon powder layer by layer, building up your orthotic with incredible precision and structural integrity.
Lighter & Stronger
3D printed orthotics are significantly lighter than traditional orthotics while being more durable. The material is flexible yet supportive, and won't break down like foam-based devices.
Consistent Quality
Unlike handcrafted orthotics where quality can vary, 3D printing produces identical results every time. Each pair is manufactured to exact specifications.
3D Printed vs Traditional Orthotics
Understanding why technology matters for your orthotic outcomes.
Traditional Manufacturing
- Plaster casting can distort foot shape
- Hand grinding introduces human error
- Bulky and heavy materials
- Difficult to replicate if lost or worn
- Quality varies with technician skill
3D Printed Technology
- Non-contact scanning preserves natural foot shape
- CAD design eliminates human error
- Lightweight yet highly durable nylon
- Digital files allow exact replication anytime
- Consistent, repeatable quality every time
