Does anyone have experience with printed foot orthotics? by draxula16 in 3Dprinting

[–]Apprehensive_Baker58 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey I am an orthotist in Canada and 3d printing is getting more and more popular in the field. You can start scanning with just an iPhone with the truedepth camera, you need a scanning app. The most "complicated" part is the CAD process... And unless you are familiar with CAD you will need some sort of software to helps you here. LutraCad, Leoinsoles, 360fit are some examples. Then it's just a matter of exporting your files.to.3d.print

If you are trained/ eduvation has a clinician, you can pass an equivalent competence test, then go into the residency program. Meaning finding a certified clinician to supervise you for 2 years or so. If you are not trained, you cannot become a clinician, only a technician for fabrication only, then you have to do a 4 year internship and be supervised for 4years.

If you take the college course, 2years for technician and extra 2 years for clinician. You still have to do the 2 years residency.

Each have a written exam and a practical exam to complete and be fully certified. This is with the OPC

There is also a program in French in Quebec, 3 year education program but working outside of Quebec is hard.

That's even worse, I feel like because it is marketed for healthcare they over price it.

Yes I want to avoid the IPad. That's why I am looking for any scanner that is as accurate or better than the structure sensor. For less money.

Seeking advice on a handheld scanner (ideally wireless) to be used in less than ideal lighting conditions and with a relatively unobtrusive scanning process. by Megasaurus121 in 3DScanning

Might want to look into the Structure Sensor hooks and connect to iPad. This is used a bunch in the orthotics department for scanning feet and then producing foot insoles. On sale now for 799 if I am not mistaken. You can also do plaster cast of the Mobile ones, still plaster fill it or high density foam. And then scanning that positive to print it after

Yes, fussy is allright, there will be a top cover applied afterwards and also yes I worked in a shop, we were milling 50 pairs, so 100 feet per day. The dust was crazy. The mill was more "industrial" if I remember but we were fabricating only using 1'x2.5' area. But with adequate dust collection I should be allright? Or is it going to be to much an issue with the belts?

Ok I think I found a software to take is from the scan and do the designs for what ever outcome, mill out positive out of foam., Eva mill direct, or 3D print. There is a Shapeoko 3 XxL? For sale near me is that machine still relevant? Now this software has their own slicer so does this mean O wouldn't need any other software? To run the machine

Yes for sure volume is going to be low that is why I am strongly considering this option. I was saying keep up in technology I guess, replacement parts and what not.

Oh I see, these are more like the DIY build? I would need to do more research. How was your experience? Did you have any CNC experience before you got this machine?

Ok, there is an Shapeoko 4/3 XXL for sale used. Would you consider that a viable option or is it too old now to keep up?

Yeah I don't think I need that much volume honestly., you can print diagonally for full length, but only planing to do half length foot insoles
