Apex V2 Orthotic 3D Printer

In-office custom orthotic production for podiatry and O&P practices. Predictable cost: $10–$12 per pair.

3 Pillar platform

Printer

Apex V2 — $1,500. Belt-based orthotic production system for in-office use.

Software

OrthoCAD — $1,500/year. Design and export for the printer.

Materials

Vertex TPU filaments and PP-CF for rigid shells. See materials section.

Workflow

Scan Design Print Finish

Scan or cast → design in orthotic CAD software (OrthoCAD) → export → print on Apex V2. Post-process as needed. Turnaround in hours, not days.

Belt printer and PP-CF shells

The Apex V2 belt printer is the orthotic production system for high-throughput in-office fabrication. PP-CF shells use a separate Cartesian workflow and material for rigid orthotic components.

3D printing vs CNC

3D printing builds layer by layer; CNC mills from a blank. Both produce custom orthotics. For cost and workflow comparison, see 3D printing vs CNC milling for orthotics.

Who it's for

Podiatry and O&P practices seeking in-office custom orthotic production with predictable cost per pair.

FAQ

What is the printer price?
$1,500.
What is the software cost?
OrthoCAD: $1,500 per year.
What is the cost per pair?
$10–$12 per pair for materials.
Can I do in-house orthotic fabrication with Apex V2?
Yes. Apex V2 is designed for in-office production of custom foot orthotics by podiatry and O&P practices.
Is Apex V2 suitable for podiatry 3D printing?
Yes. Podiatry practices use Apex V2 for custom orthotics, reducing turnaround and shipping.
Is Apex V2 suitable for O&P 3D printing?
Yes. O&P practices use Apex V2 for custom orthotic production with predictable cost per pair.
What is the production capacity?
Throughput depends on design complexity and post-processing. Multiple pairs per day are achievable.
What materials does Apex V2 use?
Vertex TPU Core, Vertex TPU-HD, Vertex TPU-Foam, Vertex PEBA High Rebound, and PP-CF for rigid shells.
3D printing vs CNC for orthotics — which is better?
Both produce custom orthotics. See 3D printing vs CNC milling for orthotics for comparison.
What is the workflow from scan to finished orthotic?
Scan or cast → design in OrthoCAD → export → print on Apex V2 → post-process. Turnaround in hours.
Is training required?
OrthoCAD training and printer operation training are recommended for new users.
What software is required?
OrthoCAD (orthotic CAD software), $1,500 per year, designs and exports files for the printer.
Does Apex V2 support belt printing?
Yes. Apex V2 is a belt-based orthotic production system.
What is PP-CF used for?
PP-CF is a rigid shell material used in a separate Cartesian workflow for orthotic components.
