End-to-end Solution for 3D Printed Custom Insole Production

For Podiatrists and Insole Manufacturers

Our advanced 3D printing technology allows you to tackle the most demanding customized insole needs without the usual costs of conventional manufacturing.

Why Use 3D Printing in Insole Production?

 

3D Printing in Insole Production offers rapid, precise, and cost-effective mass customization compared to traditional methods. By leveraging digital design and additive manufacturing, it reduces production time and delivery, enhancing patient comfort, convenience, and podiatrist’s product quality. With low training and operational costs, 3D printing technology is expected to see widespread adoption soon.

End-to-End Digital Workflow

The FFF printing process fundamentally changes the machining concept, shortens the overall process and further increases efficiency

The process can be divided into 5 simple stages:

 

3D Printing Process

The process begins by capturing precise measurements and contours of the patient’s foot using 3D scanning tools. Now this procedure can be done easily by an iPhone app, and it takes only a few minutes.

Once the data has been imported into the computer, the insole design software will utilize the professional treatment plan to calculate a digital model of the insole. By personalizing and fine-tuning the insoles, it is possible to improve comfort and support while also redistributing pressure more efficiently. The podiatrist can then easily complete the digital design of the insole and begin the slicing process.

Once we have a 3D insole file, we use ideaMaker to generate a G-code file to be printed on a 3D printer. This file can then be effortlessly transferred to the printer via USB, LAN, Wi-Fi, or the RaiseCloud cloud platform.

The G-code file serves as a roadmap for the printer, guiding it on how to shape and deposit the material layer by layer, resulting in the final insole shape.

Once the model has been sliced, the 3D printer will create the insoles layer by layer, producing a final product that is both precise and personalized to the patient’s needs. The operator can remotely access real-time information about the printer’s progress through a mobile phone or laptop.

Once printed, we just need to add an EVA top-cover, and then it is ready for use. With 3D printing technology, we skip the normal post-processing steps such as sanding and grinding the insole.
