Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to see ROI?

Most practices achieve ROI in 8-12 months with the Apex Belt V2. At just 5 pairs per week, you break even in about 10 months. Higher volumes accelerate payback—10 pairs weekly achieves ROI in 5-6 months.

Are these savings realistic?

Yes. Material cost is $15-25 per pair for medical-grade TPU. Labs typically charge $75-150 per pair. The difference goes directly to your bottom line. Our calculations are conservative.

What about labor costs?

3D printing requires minimal labor. Design takes 5 minutes with OrthoCAD automation. Printing runs unattended. Post-processing is minimal. Most practices find net labor savings vs coordinating with labs.
