While <a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/service\/3d-printing-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">3D print<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/service\/3d-printing-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ing<\/a> has been a hot topic in orthopedics for quite some time, the quality of 3D printed shoe lasts has never been satisfactory enough to match that of conventional wooden shoe lasts \u2013 until now. PROTIQ, a specialist in the field of additive manufacturing, has tackled the problem and, together with expert orthopedic shoemakers, has developed a solution that saves time and still meets the high demands of professional shoemaking.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color: #eaeaea7a; padding: 15px 30px; overflow-wrap: break-word; display: flex; align-items: center; border-radius: 4px; box-shadow: -1px 4px 20px 0px #dedede; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;\">\n<div style=\"flex: 1; padding-right: 30px;\">\n<h4 style=\"margin-bottom: 14px;\">Manufacturing on Demand<\/h4>\n<div style=\"display: block;\">Fast turnaround, low cost, comprehensive optimized strategy\u2026 FacFox is your one-stop partner for product manufacturing!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a style=\"background-color: #0baee8; color: white; padding: 10px 20px; border-radius: 4px;\" href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><i class=\"fa-fw auxicon auxicon-cloud-upload\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i> Get Quote<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The key to this is the TPU plastic, which on the one hand offers the required properties of wood, and on the other hand, is elastic, has a firm hold, and is extremely light. PROTIQ is working closely with Forward AM, the BASF 3D Printing Solutions brand, to find the optimal material. BASF\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/service\/3d-printing-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">3D print<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/service\/3d-printing-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ing<\/a> division offers one of the largest material portfolios as well as comprehensive consulting expertise for all common <a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/service\/3d-printing-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">3D print<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/service\/3d-printing-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ing<\/a> technologies. PROTIQ uses Selective Laser Sintering (<a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/service\/sls-rapid-prototyping-services\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SLS<\/a>) to fuse the TPU layer by layer, allowing much greater precision and robustness compared to the more common Fused Deposition Modeling (<a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/service\/fdm-3d-printing-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FDM<\/a>) technique. As a result, shoe lasts can be glued, polished, and stapled in the same way as their wooden counterp<a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/art\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">art<\/a>s.<\/p>\n<h2>Free shoe last configurator<\/h2>\n<p>But of course, the material alone does not produce a <a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/service\/3d-printing-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">3D print<\/a>ed shoe last. Before that, a customized 3D model has to be designed and adapted to the customer\u2019s foot. For this, PROTIQ offers a free web-based solution that saves orthopedic shoemakers from having to purchase expensive 3D software. The website provides easy access to a shoe last configurator, which has been developed precisely for this <a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/insights\/applications\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">application<\/a>. The web <a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/insights\/applications\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">application<\/a> is built on the software system of PROTIQ\u2019s long-standing cooperation p<a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/art\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">art<\/a>ner trinckle.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/img.facfox.com\/imgs\/2021\/06\/4945572f8b3f6a0e.png\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Berlin-based software company is specialized in the automation of design processes. During the development phase, trinckle focused in p<a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/art\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">art<\/a>icular on the requirements of the orthopedic technicians involved to provide a seamless and intuitive workflow. Using the shoe last configurator, foot scans can be uploaded, the lasts can be modeled as required, and dimensions can be precisely measured and matched. This creates a customized pair of lasts that can be ordered on the spot. Need the lasts at a later date? No problem at all! 3D models that have already been created can be named as desired and saved in the customer account, creating your very own digital warehouse.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px; color: grey;\">* This article is reprinted from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dprintingmedia.network\/leveraging-3d-printing-for-orthopedic-footwear-innovation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">3D Printing Media Network<\/a>.

Tailor-made orthopedic footwear typically takes several weeks to manufacture \u2013 particularly because traditional shoe lasts still need to be made from wood, which is a fairly time-consuming process.","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/leveraging-3d-printing-for-orthopedic-footwear-innovation\/#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/leveraging-3d-printing-for-orthopedic-footwear-innovation\/"]}]},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/leveraging-3d-printing-for-orthopedic-footwear-innovation\/#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/img.facfox.com\/imgs\/2021\/06\/c89f1c90be77d5ed.png","contentUrl":"https:\/\/img.facfox.com\/imgs\/2021\/06\/c89f1c90be77d5ed.png","caption":"Leveraging 3D Printing for Orthopedic Footwear Innovation"},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/leveraging-3d-printing-for-orthopedic-footwear-innovation\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Leveraging 3D Printing for Orthopedic Footwear Innovation"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/#website","url":"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/","name":"FacFox News","description":"News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing","publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/#organization"},"potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":{"@type":"PropertyValueSpecification","valueRequired":true,"valueName":"search_term_string"}}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/#organization","name":"FacFox News","url":"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/","url":"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/facfox-news-homepg-logo-200px.png","contentUrl":"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/facfox-news-homepg-logo-200px.png","width":200,"height":55,"caption":"FacFox News"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/"}},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/#\/schema\/person\/7b701aad2d8f434034fcecd2c50a570c","name":"Vera","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/bf3b1e47e1f0ed2367da10e343584d5a4adb2e9675fce2aefb04f0ecf3954386?s=96&d=mm&r=g","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/bf3b1e47e1f0ed2367da10e343584d5a4adb2e9675fce2aefb04f0ecf3954386?s=96&d=mm&r=g","contentUrl":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/bf3b1e47e1f0ed2367da10e343584d5a4adb2e9675fce2aefb04f0ecf3954386?s=96&d=mm&r=g","caption":"Vera"},"url":"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/author\/vera\/"}]}},"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/img.facfox.com\/imgs\/2021\/06\/c89f1c90be77d5ed.png","fifu_image_alt":"Leveraging 3D Printing for Orthopedic Footwear Innovation","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/181335","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=181335"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/181335\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":181570,"href":"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/181335\/revisions\/181570"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/184881"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=181335"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=181335"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=181335"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
