Solid AFO 

3D printed Solid AFOs (Ankle-Foot Orthoses) are revolutionizing lower limb orthotic care. By utilizing digital precision, they guarantee a customized, snug fit for patients. 

The semi-automated design and rapid production and adaptability of 3D printing ensures efficient delivery of high-quality, durable braces, optimizing mobility and support. To be printed in PA11 (or PA12 for color) or PP on MJF technology and complemented with soft liner printed in TPU and vapor smoothed with AMT solution.

Mixed 3D workflows 

With FootCAD3D you are also able to produce different parts of your orthose with different production technology or even material.

Imagine exporting a rectified blank to carve on your 7axes robot to laminate/prepreg Carbon hard shell SMO, then from the same design session, generate a SMO soft shell to be printed in on MJF TPU and vapor smooth. 

This is the power of 3D!
