Turn your office into a custom orthotic production center.
The Apex Belt V2 revolutionizes 3D printing custom foot orthotics with CADCAM technology, making production as easy as printing a document. Our advanced 3D printing solution for custom foot orthotics integrates seamlessly with orthotic design software, eliminating the need for outsourcing fabrication — giving healthcare providers complete control over orthotic production, quality, and turnaround times.
Thanks to continuous belt printing technology, the Apex Belt V2 is built for uninterrupted operation — day and night, all year round.
Print operator-free with true continuous output:
All without the need for constant supervision.
The Apex Belt V2 uses our proprietary flexible filament, specially engineered for custom foot orthotic applications. No material changes. No complicated setup. Just consistent, professional results — every time.
Prints on a 45° conveyor belt, allowing parts to eject automatically after completion. No pauses, no manual intervention needed.
300mm x 180mm x ∞ (belt axis) — perfect for full-size orthotic shells and complex designs.
Dual drive extrusion system and all-metal hot end for precise, long-term performance.
Intuitive controls make operating the Apex Belt V2 as simple as using a paper printer.
Optional server connectivity lets you monitor and manage prints from anywhere.
Compare 3D printers and CNC mills for orthotics production: 3D printing creates custom foot orthotics layer-by-layer using flexible filaments, while CNC milling carves orthotics from solid material blocks.
Scan your patient's feet with our 3D scanner and create a custom orthotic design using OrthoCAD software.
Send your design to the Apex Belt V2 with a single click. The continuous belt technology allows uninterrupted printing of multiple orthotics.
Completed orthotics eject automatically. Add finishing touches and deliver to your patient, often in the same appointment.
Our 3D printed orthotics workflow integrates seamlessly into your practice, creating an efficient production system from patient assessment to final delivery:
Begin by performing your standard biomechanical assessment. Use our portable 3D scanner to capture a precise digital model of your patient's feet in just seconds. This digital model contains thousands of data points for exceptional accuracy.
Import the scan into OrthoCAD software where you can create and modify orthotic designs with drag-and-drop simplicity. Apply your clinical knowledge with precision adjustments for arch height, heel cups, metatarsal pads, and posting. The software includes templates for common conditions to speed up the design process.
With a single click, send your design to the Apex Belt V2 3D printer. The continuous belt technology allows for non-stop production while automatically ejecting completed orthotics. The printer uses medical-grade materials specifically formulated for orthotic applications, providing the right balance of flexibility, durability, and comfort.
Apply any final touches to the orthotic, such as top covers or additional padding. The 3D printed structure already includes variable densities and support zones as designed in the software. Most orthotics can be delivered to patients the same day, often during the same appointment.
Whether you need to produce a single pair or hundreds per month, the Apex Belt V2 scales with your practice without scaling your workload.
3D printing technology is revolutionizing the way custom foot orthotics are produced, delivering significant advantages over traditional methods.
3D printed orthotics can be produced with complex geometries and variable densities impossible with traditional manufacturing. Create selective flexibility zones, integrated metatarsal domes, and customized heel cups in a single structure.
Unlike subtractive manufacturing methods that remove material, 3D printing adds material only where needed, reducing waste by up to 75% and making it a more environmentally friendly option.
Digital designs can be stored indefinitely, allowing for exact reproduction of successful orthotics when replacements are needed without requiring new scans or impressions.
Advanced materials and internal lattice structures create orthotics that are 30-40% lighter than traditional versions while maintaining the same level of support and durability.
In-house 3D printed orthotics dramatically reduce production costs compared to lab-manufactured devices, with material costs averaging just $15-20 per pair.
The combination of comfort, precise fit, and same-day delivery results in higher patient satisfaction and compliance with orthotic therapy, leading to better clinical outcomes.
With the Apex Belt V2, 3D printed orthotics can be produced in-house with minimal supervision and maximum efficiency.
Common questions about 3D printed orthotics and the Apex Belt V2
The Apex Belt V2 uses medical-grade thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) filaments specifically formulated for orthotic applications. These materials provide the perfect balance of flexibility, durability, and shock absorption. They're hypoallergenic, antimicrobial, and meet all relevant medical device standards.
3D printed orthotics typically last as long as traditional EVA or polypropylene orthotics, with an average lifespan of 1-2 years depending on patient activity level. The advanced TPU materials used in our process have excellent fatigue resistance and maintain their supportive properties over time. Many practitioners report that 3D printed orthotics show less compression and breakdown than traditional materials.
Most practitioners are successfully designing and printing custom orthotics within 1-2 days of training. The OrthoCAD software is intuitive and includes templates for common conditions. The Apex Belt V2 printer is designed to be as simple to operate as a paper printer. Our comprehensive training program and ongoing support ensure a smooth implementation for practices of any size.
The Apex Belt V2 has a compact footprint of just 20" × 20" × 25", making it suitable for even small office environments. It operates on standard 110V power and doesn't require special electrical installations. The printer is designed to be quiet enough to operate in a clinical setting without disrupting normal activities.
Yes, we offer flexible financing options including equipment leasing, 0% promotional financing for qualified applicants, and graduated payment plans that align with your increasing production. Most practices find that monthly payments are entirely offset by savings from in-house production. Contact our sales team for a customized financing solution for your practice.
Bring fabrication in-house and eliminate expensive outsourcing fees.
Same-day turnaround for urgent patient needs.
Customize, adjust, and print orthotics exactly the way you want.
Add more printers as your patient volume increases — each capable of 3,600 pairs annually.

Common questions about 3D printing custom foot orthotics
Yes, you can 3D print custom orthotics directly in your office with minimal setup requirements. The Apex Belt V2 3D printer only needs standard power and about 4 square feet of counter space. With digital scanning, design software, and the printer, you can create fully custom orthotics in-house without messy casting materials or lab delays, delivering finished devices to patients in hours instead of weeks.
3D printed orthotics use specialized TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) flexible filaments designed specifically for orthotic applications. These medical-grade materials offer excellent cushioning, durability, and biomechanical support. The Apex Belt V2 can print with varying densities in a single orthotic—creating firmer support zones and softer cushioning areas within the same device—using the same continuous material.
The Apex Belt V2 can 3D print a complete pair of custom orthotics in 3-5 hours, depending on size and design complexity. While this is longer than CNC milling, the Belt V2's continuous printing surface allows multiple pairs to be printed simultaneously, increasing throughput. Many practices set up overnight printing queues, allowing orthotics designed during afternoon appointments to be ready for delivery the next morning.
