3D printing for orthopaedic technology

Orthoses, positioning shells and custom aids – precisely made based on a 3D scan, as a manufacturing partner for medical supply stores and orthotists.

Advantages

Why 3D printing for orthopaedic technology?

Individual

Each part precisely adapted based on a scan.

Light & breathable

Lattice and perforated structures for wearing comfort.

Reproducible

The file is kept – remanufacturing at any time.

Orthopaedics at a glance

How do we work with medical supply stores and orthotists?

We are a manufacturing partner, not a care provider: medical responsibility and care remain with you. You supply scan or CAD data and your specifications – we manufacture precisely fitting orthoses, positioning shells, adapters and aids from them. On request we also scan existing models.

Lattice and perforated structures make parts lighter and more breathable without losing stability. PA12 and PA11 from SLS printing are tough and biocompatible according to the manufacturer; TPU is suitable for soft pads and contact surfaces. Because the file is kept, remanufacturing is possible at any time.

FAQ

FAQ about orthopaedic technology

Who is responsible for the medical care?

The care and responsibility for the aid lie with the orthotist or medical supply store. As a partner, we manufacture according to your data and specifications.

Can you work with our scan data?

Yes. Send us your scan or CAD data – or we scan models for you.
