Your custom foot orthotic design house

No library. No best-match. No template.

Our design automation is built on 30+ years of custom foot orthotic design and corrections. It forms the shell to the scanned foot, applies your corrections, and designs pads, additions, extensions and shell modifications as prescribed.

Three levels of service for you to choose from: Design Only, Design + Print and Full Service.

The craft is constant, whichever service you choose.

Design Only, Design + Print or Full Service, every pair starts from the same design file. That file is what makes each pair fit, repeat, hold your corrections and flex as prescribed.

good to go. 🍃🍃🍃

Fit

The shell follows the scanned foot contours — not a best-fit template, and not a generic arch profile stretched to fit.

Repeatability

Refills are printed using the original design files. Posting angles, pad placement and trim lines don't drift between the first pair and the fourth.

Control

Every correction is a precise value in the file — a posting angle, a thickness, an extension length. Designed in CAD, artfully and with great accuracy.

Material

Shells are carbon-fibre nylon (PA12-CF10) or 95A TPU, chosen by device type. Additions and extrinsic posts are TPU, printed at the density each one needs: firm where it supports, soft where it cushions. Each part has a house default, and you can change it on the order.

Service levels

Design Only is the core. The other two are there when you need them.

The design files print easily on a Creality K1 Max in your clinic, or send them to your 3D print service, such as Forge Labs or Hubs (HP MJF: a smoother finish, at a higher cost per pair). Either way, we'll guide your choice of printing material. Not printing yet? We'll print for you. Choose shells and additions to assemble and cover yourself (minutes of work for your existing staff), or finished pairs, ready to dispense.

Core — Recommended Clinicians + Labs

Design Only

We design, you print — on your own printer, or by sending the files to a print service. You get the 3D design files for the shell and its snap-fit additions, plus guidance on printing material. Add Slicing turns a 3D design into the layer-by-layer instructions a printer follows. We can do it for you, set up for your printer, or you can do it yourself in Creality Print, Creality's free slicer. and you just press print. Print in-house and cost per pair drops to a tiny fraction of what you pay now. Printing and assembly take minutes of staff time, with no new hires.

Artful engineering

The shell is formed onto the scan, the way a shell is vacuum formed over a positive.

There is no library and nothing is approximated. The shell takes on the patient's own contours: heel cup, medial and lateral arch, met raise region. Then, and only then, are corrections designed in.

A custom orthotic is as much art as engineering: shaped artfully to the foot, built to change forces and pressures acting on it. Our automation builds proven correction logic into every design.

01 — Scan in

Your laser scan arrives as-is. We don't smooth away the arch, and we don't swap it for the nearest stock shape.

02 — Shell conformed

The shell surface is formed against the mesh so contact is continuous. The shell arch shape is exactly the foot's arch shape. From here, cast dressing, expansion and order specs are designed.

03 — Posting as prescribed

Rearfoot and forefoot corrections are built into the geometry at the exact angle you specify — intrinsic or extrinsic.

Posting, spelled out

Posting is a precise value, set in CAD in degrees. A 4° varus post is often made as a 4 mm wedge, but degrees and millimetres aren't interchangeable: the wider the foot, the thicker the wedge needed to reach the same angle. On a 60 mm heel, 4° is about 4.2 mm; on an 82 mm heel, about 5.7 mm. We post to the angle you prescribe, so 4° is 4° on every foot.

The same 4° varus post on 60, 70 and 82 mm heels, viewed from behind: the medial edge rises 4.2, 4.9 and 5.7 mm, against a fixed 4 mm wedge.The same 4° varus post on 60, 70 and 82 mm heels, viewed from behind: the medial edge rises 4.2, 4.9 and 5.7 mm, against a fixed 4 mm wedge.

Additions, padding, extensions

Trace lines and snap-fit features let you locate every pad and addition quickly, easily and accurately during assembly. Once snapped in, they stay put — no sliding around, even under aggressive use.

Snap-fit assembly

No grinding. No dust. The parts already fit.

Every piece is custom to the patient and comes off the printer ready to assemble. Placement pins and outline traces put each part exactly where it belongs, so assembly is easy, fast, and accurate — at the bench, with no grinder in the room.

Exploded view of a 3dp orthotic: the shell, a separate heel pad with two snap-fit pins, a separate met raise pad located by a raised outline, and the forefoot bottom cover with snap-fit pins that press into holes in the shell; an extrinsic rearfoot post is built into the shell.

01 — Snap

Press the heel pad and forefoot bottom cover onto their pins. The raised outline on the shell shows exactly where the met raise sits.

02 — Bond

A light coat of 3M 77 Multi-Surface spray adhesive, available on Amazon, holds every piece in place.

03 — Cover

The forefoot bottom cover is already shaped and sized. Apply the top cover, then trim to the shell and FF bottom cover.

No grinding

Posts, pads, and covers are designed to size. There's nothing to grind to shape.

No dust

No grinder means no dust collector, no masks and no noise in your clinic — and cleanup is quick and easy.

Very little waste

The only scrap is the top-cover offcut left over from trimming to shape. No grinding dust or shavings means far less waste heading to landfill.

In-office production

One printer, one dryer, and the files we send you.

A Creality K1 Max and a Space Pi filament dryer on a bench in the back. It runs on our validated print profile. No new hires, no new room, no learning to be a manufacturer. Busier clinic? Add a second printer, one for PA12-CF10 and one for TPU, and skip the filament changes.

Per print bed

1–3 pairs

Nested on the K1 Max's 300 mm bed.

Print time per pair

  • Shells3–5 hrs
  • TPU parts1–3 hrs
  • Full Body, with additions and padding8–12 hrs

Per month, one printer: about 34–45 complete pairs, running regular business hours.

Staff time

Minutes

When the print finishes: remove the parts, assemble and cover the pair.

Cost per pair

Far less

A tiny fraction of what an outside pair costs you today. Even at a few pairs a month, your setup pays for itself within a couple of months. Create account to see pricingFair warning: most clinicians read it twice..

Confidentiality

Who you work with is private. We keep it that way.

Clinicians and labs both trust us with information they'd never want in the open: patient scans, prescriptions, order volumes, and the simple fact that they work with us at all. All of it is confidential, permanently and without asking.

We don't disclose

No partner list, no logo wall, no case studies naming you. If you want to tell people you work with us, that's your announcement to make.

We don't sell data

Scans, prescriptions, order histories and patient information are never sold, licensed, brokered or used to train anything for anyone else.

We don't discuss accounts

Not with other partners, not with your competitors, not as a sales reference. Volumes, pricing and methods stay inside your account.

We don't advertise you

Your name never appears in our marketing, and our name never has to appear on your product. Privacy is the default, not an upgrade.
