The application scenarios of foot 3D scanners in insole design.

The application scenarios of foot 3D scanners in insole design mainly include the following aspects:

1. Personalized Orthotic Insole Customization

Arch Support Design: By scanning data such as arch height and foot width, support insoles can be customized for patients with flat feet or high arches to improve plantar force distribution.

Heel Bone Correction: For issues like heel valgus or varus, the scanner captures heel angle data to design insoles with wrapping and corrective force.

Dynamic Pressure Adjustment: Combined with plantar pressure distribution systems, the lattice density of the insole is optimized to alleviate concentrated pressure problems such as plantar fasciitis.

2. Rehabilitation and Medical Applications

Foot Disease Diagnosis Assistance: 3D data helps identify problems like hallux valgus or leg length discrepancy, assisting doctors in formulating correction plans.

Postoperative Rehabilitation: Custom insoles that fit the foot shape reduce walking friction and pain for postoperative patients.

3. Sports Optimization

Athletic Shoe Insole Matching: Foot shape contours (including fine structures) are scanned to customize highly fitting running shoe insoles, improving athletic performance.

Sports Injury Prevention: Gait analysis is used to design cushioning and supportive insoles to reduce the risk of foot injuries during exercise.

4. Monitoring of Children's Foot Development

Early detection of developmental abnormalities such as flat feet or inward/outward walking. Growth-corrective insoles are customized using 3D scanning data.

5. Technical Process Advantages

High Efficiency and Precision: Scanning is completed within 10 seconds with an accuracy of up to 0.5 mm. Data can be directly imported into 3D printers or engraving machines for production.

Fully Automated Process: Supports output in standard formats such as STL, compatible with CNC engraving machines and thermoforming equipment, reducing manual error.
