Can a 3D foot scanner generate a report?

Of course it can generate reports—and not just in one format!

Don’t be fooled by the small size of a 3D foot scanner. What it does is serious business: laser foot scanning + intelligent reporting. It’s definitely not just for show.

Once you place your foot on the scanner, the laser sweeps over it in quick circles, and within a few seconds, it “draws” a complete 3D dataset of your entire foot. Not only can you see it, but it also produces a proper analysis report.

1. You get the report right after the scan—it’s real, not a gimmick

Wondering what the report looks like? In one sentence: it’s just like a medical check-up report—with images, text, and analysis. For example: where your foot is too high, where it collapses, whether both feet are symmetrical, your foot length and width—it’s all there. The report can be automatically generated, available in Word format, and can be converted to PDF. Print it out and show it to your customer—super convincing.

While explaining, you can point at the image and say: “See? This part is low, and that part is high.” Customers get it right away and feel you're professional—not just talking nonsense.

2. Want visuals? Got visuals. Want data? Got data.

The report doesn’t just include color images (red for high, blue for low, green for normal), but also various detailed numbers—like arch height, foot length and width, offset angles of the foot shape… all real, measurable values. Compared to the old-school way of “judging by experience,” this laser scan + data report approach is far more reliable and convincing.

3. You can export 3D files—customization made easy

Even more impressive, this device doesn’t just give you paper reports. It can export 3D file formats like STL, OBJ, and PLY. Those in the know will instantly understand: these formats are for CNC carving machines, 3D printers, and design software! That means once you scan the foot, there’s no need to manually build a model. You can directly connect the data to custom insole carving, shoe last design, gait analysis systems, and more. The entire process can be done in one seamless workflow.

So it's not just useful for regular stores—custom insole makers, rehab centers, and sports health companies love it too.

4. Reports can be archived—making return visits easy

Here’s another very practical point: all of the customer’s scan data and reports can be saved. The next time they come in, there’s no need to rescan—just pull up their previous record. Whether it’s a follow-up check or comparing before-and-after results, just show them the two reports side-by-side and they can clearly see the difference. Return rate goes up instantly.
