Professional orthopedic shoe production! Advantages of 3D laser scanning of the soles of feet

In the pursuit of health and comfort, more and more people are beginning to pay attention to foot problems, especially the frequent occurrence of symptoms such as flat feet, high arches, hallux valgus, and sole pain, which not only affect daily life, but also may affect the knees, spine and even the whole body posture.

As an important means of foot health management, the accuracy of professional orthopedic shoes determines the final comfort and correction effect. In this process, the introduction of three-dimensional laser scanning technology for the sole has undoubtedly brought unprecedented innovation.

Traditional foot shape measurement mostly relies on manual impressions, plaster models or simple measuring rulers, which have large errors, long time consumption, and heavy subjective factors, and cannot fully capture the fine structure of the foot.

The three-dimensional laser scanning technology uses a non-contact, high-precision, and fully digital method to quickly obtain the foot contour and the sole force area, forming a complete 3D foot model, providing a scientific data basis for custom orthopedic shoes.

The scanning process is simple and fast, and it only takes a few seconds. The examinee stands or sits barefoot, and the laser scanner can accurately capture details such as the sole, arch, intertoe structure, and instep contour.

The resulting model can not only be displayed on the screen in real time, but also be intelligently analyzed according to the differences in foot structure, assisting professionals in determining whether there are problems such as inversion and eversion, arch collapse, etc.

More importantly, the 3D scanning data can be seamlessly connected to the CAD design system and production equipment such as insole engraving and 3D printing, realizing intelligent customization of the entire process, greatly improving production efficiency and accuracy.

Whether it is the dynamic adjustment of children's development period or the individual correction of chronic foot diseases in the elderly, "one model and one shoe for one person" can be achieved, truly realizing "wearing well and walking with peace of mind".

For institutions engaged in the production of orthopedic shoes, 3D laser scanning of the soles of the feet not only raises the technical threshold, but also establishes the professional image of the brand. For users, it is a fusion of high technology and health experience. It is no longer just "making shoes", but a process of "measuring feet and customizing health plans".

In the future, with the popularization and optimization of technology, 3D laser scanning of the soles of the feet will not only be used in professional medical institutions, but will also enter communities, shoe stores, and sports rehabilitation centers, becoming a health tool that everyone can enjoy.
