How Orthotic CADCAM Works

Our complete digital workflow transforms the way you create custom foot orthotics, from initial scan to finished product.

1

3D Foot Scanning

Capture precise 3D models of your patient's feet in seconds using our advanced scanning technology.

2

Custom Design

Use OrthoCAD software to create and modify orthotic designs with precision and digital efficiency.

3

Digital Manufacturing

Produce custom orthotics with either 3D printed orthotics technology or precision CNC orthotic milling.

4

Delivery & Fitting

Fit patients with custom orthotics in a single visit, eliminating weeks of waiting for laboratory production.

Benefits of CADCAM Over Traditional Methods

Modern orthotic CADCAM technology delivers significant advantages over traditional casting and outsourced manufacturing methods.

Faster Turnaround Time

Create custom orthotics in hours instead of weeks with in-house production using 3D printed orthotics or CNC orthotic milling.

Higher Precision

Digital scanning captures 1000× more data points than foam impressions or plaster casts, resulting in superior fit.

Increased Profitability

Reduce costs while increasing margins by eliminating outsourcing fees and shipping expenses.

Enhanced Patient Experience

Impress patients with modern technology and same-day delivery of custom orthotic solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about orthotic CADCAM, 3D printed orthotics, and CNC orthotic milling

What's the difference between 3D printing and CNC milling for orthotics?

3D printed orthotics are created through an additive process, building the orthotic layer by layer using specialized materials. This allows for complex geometries and variable densities. CNC orthotic milling uses a subtractive process, carving the orthotic from a solid block of material, which can work with traditional materials like EVA and is often faster for certain designs. Both are valid approaches to modern orthotic production with different advantages.

How much training is required to implement CADCAM orthotics in my practice?

Most practices can implement orthotic CADCAM systems with just 1-2 days of training. Our comprehensive training program covers 3D scanning, design software, and manufacturing equipment operation. The software is intuitive, and both 3D printing and CNC milling processes are largely automated. Most clients are creating custom orthotics independently within the first week of implementation.

What is the return on investment for in-office orthotic production?

Most practices see a return on investment within 6-18 months depending on volume. Producing orthotics in-house eliminates lab fees of $50-150 per pair, while material costs for 3D printed orthotics or CNC milled orthotics range from $10-30 per pair. Additionally, offering same-day service often allows practices to command premium pricing and attract more patients, further accelerating ROI.

Are digitally produced orthotics as durable as traditional ones?

Yes, both 3D printed orthotics and CNC milled orthotics match or exceed the durability of traditionally manufactured orthotics. 3D printed orthotics use advanced materials specifically engineered for orthotic applications with excellent durability and flexibility. CNC orthotic milling can use the same traditional materials as lab-produced orthotics but with greater precision and consistency.

Do you offer financing options for CADCAM equipment?

Yes, we offer multiple financing options to make adopting orthotic CADCAM technology more accessible. This includes equipment leasing, 0% promotional financing, and graduated payment plans that align with your increasing production capacity. Many practices find that monthly financing payments are offset by savings from in-house production within the first few months.
