From local lab to global innovator: The journey of VertexOrthopedic since 2001.
Founded in 2001 as a custom orthotic central fabrication lab, VertexOrthopedic began with a simple mission: to create better orthotic solutions through innovation and technology. What started as a centralized orthotic manufacturing facility has evolved into a global leader in orthopedic equipment manufacturing.
Today, we're proud to be an international OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) of CADCAM orthotic production equipment and software. We design, engineer, and manufacture proprietary hardware specifically for orthotic fabrication, helping practitioners around the world deliver the highest quality care to their patients.
Vertex Orthopedic is an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) that designs, engineers, and manufactures proprietary orthotic CNC milling machines and 3D printing systems. Our team develops specialized hardware from the ground up specifically for EVA and positive-model milling, integrating seamlessly with leading orthotics CAD/CAM workflows. In-house manufacturing and direct factory support mean faster iteration, better reliability, and a single accountable partner from installation to ongoing service. Clinics and labs choose Vertex for precision, uptime, and a turnkey path from digital scan to finished orthotic. With our unique background as both manufacturer and former orthotic lab, we understand the complete workflow better than any other OEM in the industry.
Vertex Orthopedic Group is a leading manufacturer of CADCAM orthotic production equipment, founded in 2001 in Idaho Falls. We specialize in 3D printing systems, CNC milling equipment, and specialized software that enables orthopedic professionals to produce custom foot orthotics in-office. Simply put, we transform how clinics create orthotic devices for their patients.
Here's how we help: With over 24 years of experience, we understand the unique challenges of orthotic production. You can easily integrate our technology into existing workflows while receiving comprehensive training and ongoing support. The key difference is our focus on practical, clinical solutions rather than complex industrial systems.
The answer is through continuous innovation and listening to our customers. We started as a local orthotic lab and evolved into a technology company that serves clinics nationwide. Our customers tell us this evolution allows us to understand both the clinical and manufacturing sides of orthotic production.
To summarize our unique advantages: We're the only OEM that started as an actual orthotic lab, giving us real-world clinical experience. Here's what you need to know - as an Original Equipment Manufacturer, we design and engineer proprietary equipment specifically for healthcare environments, not adapted industrial machinery.
We're headquartered in Idaho Falls, Idaho, with our main facility at 919 S. Utah Ave. The best way to experience our technology is through on-site demonstrations, which we provide nationwide. You can visit our facility or we can bring complete systems to your clinic for hands-on evaluation.
In short, we maintain regulatory compliance for all medical device manufacturing and software development. We make it easy to meet international regulatory requirements with complete documentation, training protocols, and quality assurance procedures that satisfy clinical auditing standards.
Most clinics find our solutions through referrals from existing customers. We've equipped hundreds of podiatry and orthopedic practices across the United States. Here's how it works: successful implementations create word-of-mouth recommendations that drive our growth.
The ideal time is when you're producing 15+ orthotics monthly or experiencing delays with external labs. Simply put, if patient satisfaction and turnaround times are concerns, in-office production with Vertex equipment provides immediate solutions and long-term competitive advantages.
Vertex Orthopedic is a true OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer). We design, engineer, and manufacture all our orthotic CNC milling machines and 3D printing systems in-house. Unlike resellers or integrators who rebrand existing equipment, we develop proprietary hardware from the ground up specifically for orthotic fabrication. This means better integration, faster support response times, and continuous product innovation based on real clinical feedback.
Working directly with the OEM provides several key advantages: First, faster technical support since we manufactured every component. Second, better long-term reliability with access to original parts and engineering documentation. Third, product customization capabilities that resellers cannot offer. Fourth, direct factory training and implementation support. Finally, ongoing product evolution based on your feedback - as the manufacturer, we can implement improvements in future productions runs.
Yes, as an OEM we've engineered our systems to integrate with all major CAD/CAM platforms including OrthoCAD, ShapeCAD, and others. Our proprietary hardware includes universal drivers and APIs that ensure seamless workflow integration. We also provide technical documentation and developer support that resellers typically cannot offer, enabling custom integrations for specialized clinical workflows.
All Vertex Orthopedic equipment is engineered and manufactured in our Idaho Falls, Idaho facility. This centralized manufacturing approach ensures consistent quality control and rapid response to service needs. Our factory-trained technicians provide nationwide service support, with most technical issues resolved within 24 hours. Being the manufacturer means we maintain complete parts inventory and can provide lifetime support for all our equipment.
