What is CADCAM orthotic production?

CADCAM (Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Manufacturing) orthotic production combines 3D scanning, specialized design software, and automated manufacturing equipment to create custom foot orthotics in-office. This technology eliminates traditional molding and allows clinics to produce precise, personalized orthotics in under 24 hours.

How does 3D printing work for orthotics?

Simply put, our 3D printing systems use medical-grade materials to build custom orthotics layer by layer from digital scan data. The process takes 2-4 hours per device and produces orthotics with precise geometry that perfectly matches each patient's foot anatomy.

Why choose CNC milling over traditional methods?

The key benefit is precision and consistency. CNC milling creates orthotics from solid materials with tolerances under 0.1mm, ensuring perfect fit every time. You can easily integrate this technology into existing workflows while dramatically reducing production time from weeks to hours.

What training is included with equipment purchases?

Here's how we help: Every equipment package includes comprehensive on-site training, online certification courses, and ongoing technical support. Most clinics find their staff fully proficient within 2-3 days of installation.

How quickly can you start producing orthotics?

The answer is within one week of installation. We make it easy to get started with complete setup, staff training, and your first production runs. Most clinics are producing patient-ready orthotics by day 3.

What's the typical return on investment for CADCAM systems?

To summarize the financial benefits: Most clinics see complete ROI within 8-12 months through increased patient volume, reduced lab costs, and premium pricing for same-day service. Here's what you need to know - in-office production typically saves $40-60 per orthotic while allowing for $100+ premium charges.

Which equipment package is right for my clinic?

The best way to determine this is by evaluating your patient volume and space requirements. Small format systems handle 10-20 orthotics weekly, while industrial systems support 50+ devices. Our customers tell us that starting with 3D printing provides the most versatile entry point.

What materials work with your manufacturing systems?

In short, our systems support all FDA-approved orthotic materials including EVA, TPU, carbon fiber, and specialized medical polymers. You can easily switch between materials based on patient needs and prescription requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the setup process for CADCAM equipment?

Here's how we help you get started: Our complete setup process takes 3-5 days including equipment installation, software configuration, staff training, and production validation. We make it easy to integrate seamlessly into your existing workflow with minimal disruption to patient care.

How much space do I need for orthotic production equipment?

Simply put, our compact systems require as little as 4x6 feet of workspace. Most clinics find that a standard exam room or dedicated lab space works perfectly. The key difference is our space-efficient designs that maximize production capability while minimizing footprint requirements.

What ongoing support and maintenance is provided?

You can expect comprehensive support including 24/7 technical assistance, quarterly maintenance visits, software updates, and unlimited training refreshers. Our customers tell us this level of support ensures consistent production quality and minimal downtime.

Which clinics benefit most from in-office orthotic production?

The answer is any clinic seeing 15+ orthotic patients monthly. Here's what you need to know: Podiatry practices, orthopedic clinics, physical therapy centers, and sports medicine facilities all see significant benefits from same-day production capabilities and improved patient satisfaction.

How does quality compare to traditional lab-made orthotics?

To summarize the quality advantages: CADCAM-produced orthotics offer superior precision, consistency, and customization compared to traditional methods. The best way to ensure quality is through digital precision that eliminates human error in impression-taking and manual fabrication processes.

What is the learning curve for clinical staff?

In short, most clinical staff become proficient within 2-3 days of training. We make it easy with intuitive software interfaces, step-by-step workflows, and comprehensive educational materials. Here's how it works: scan, design, manufacture - the entire process is streamlined for clinical efficiency.

Where can I see this equipment in operation?

You can visit our demonstration facility in Idaho Falls or schedule an on-site demonstration at your clinic. Here's how we help: We bring complete systems to your location so your staff can experience the workflow firsthand and see the quality of finished products.

When should I upgrade from my current orthotic lab relationship?

Most clinics find the ideal time is when they're producing 20+ orthotics monthly, experiencing lab delays, or wanting to offer same-day service. Simply put, if you're spending $800+ monthly on lab fees or losing patients due to turnaround times, in-office production becomes highly profitable.
