What are the principles and application scenarios of foot type 3D laser scanner?

Foot type 3D laser scanner conducts all-round scanning and measurement on human feet from 8 to 16 directions through the optical principle of laser.

The 3DOE series of foot type 3D scanner products have an accuracy within 0.5mm, which is relatively high in the industry, and can obtain more than 60 foot type parameters in about 20 seconds. It can also generate STL 3D data and PDF measurement reports at the same time, and effectively evaluate flat feet, high arches, heel varus and valgus, hallux varus and valgus and other foot conditions.

The main data contained in the measurement report include: foot length (left and right feet), foot width (left and right feet), foot type fat and thin degree, shoe size recommendation, insole recommendation, toe type, hallux analysis, arch analysis, heel analysis, arch length, arch height, dorsal part length, sole length, heel margin length, lateral malleolus center length, medial malleolus center length, foot width, dorsal circumference width, toe width, foot waist circumference width, heel protrusion height and other items.


Foot type 3D laser scanners are most commonly applied in the following aspects:

1. Applied in footwear stores.

Introducing this foot type 3D laser scanner in offline footwear stores can become a powerful drainage tool and attract surrounding people to the store for foot measurement experience.

Many people are interested in understanding their own foot conditions, but they just lack relevant opportunities.

If there is a free foot measurement opportunity, many people are willing to take the test as long as the distance is acceptable, especially for free services.

The scanner system can also store pictures of shoes and other relevant information of the store. After foot measurement, customers can select shoes and insoles suitable for their own feet in the software, reducing the trouble of repeated on-site selection and frequent trial wearing.

This can improve customer experience, increase conversion rate and boost transaction volume.

If customers are detected with flat feet, high arches, foot varus, foot valgus and other problems in the store, the store can also provide customized services of corrective insoles and corrective shoes for users to expand revenue channels.

2. Applied in foot departments of hospitals and rehabilitation clinics.

The introduction of foot type 3D scanners in hospitals and rehabilitation institutions can help doctors and rehabilitation therapists diagnose human foot health conditions faster and more accurately. With detailed data support, the diagnosis is more accurate and more convincing for patients.

Meanwhile, patients can directly understand their own foot conditions through the measured data reports, so as to better cooperate with doctors in diagnosis and treatment.

It can also be used for data comparison before and after surgery, enabling doctors to provide more thoughtful and effective rehabilitation plans for patients.

3. Applied in adolescent foot screening in schools.

The protection of adolescent foot health is extremely important.

The foot bones of teenagers and children have not been fully finalized. After scanning and measurement by foot type 3D scanners, if foot deformities such as flat feet, high arches and foot varus are found, timely intervention and correction can be carried out to achieve ideal treatment effects.

If such problems are not detected until adulthood, the bones will be fully shaped, and the subsequent correction will cost a huge price.

Therefore, it is very important and necessary for schools to introduce foot type 3D scanners to carry out foot screening for adolescent students.

4. Applied to customized shoes, customized insoles, corrective shoes and corrective insoles.

Combined with the plantar pressure distribution system, the foot type 3D scanner can produce functional corrective insoles, corrective shoes and related orthotic aids for users.

It can also customize exclusive shoes and insoles that meet users’ foot sizes according to personal preferences, allowing users to wear shoes and insoles that fit their feet perfectly.
