Leveraging 3D Printing for Orthopedic Footwear Innovation
Tailor-made orthopedic footwear typically takes several weeks to manufacture – particularly because traditional shoe lasts still need to be made from wood, which is a fairly time-consuming process. PROTIQ demonstrated how this can be done faster: with the help of additive manufacturing. Custom shoe lasts can now be virtually printed overnight and are available on the production bench within a few days. This offer is completed by a free online shoe last configurator that drastically simplifies the design of 3D data and seamlessly integrates it into the ordering process. The web application is built on the parameter software system from trinckle.
