What foot data does the foot type 3D laser scanner eFoot320 measure and in what aspects is it applie

eFoot320 is a laser three-dimensional foot scanner independently developed by 3DOE, which adopts an optical system in 8 directions to conduct all-round scanning and measurement of the foot.

This scanning method belongs to non-contact measurement, will not cause discomfort to the skin, and is not easy to cause physical damage, and the measured data is more accurate.

There are various measurement methods, including weight-bearing measurement, semi-weight-bearing measurement and non-weight-bearing measurement. The specific choice depends on the specific application scenario. In most cases, weight-bearing measurement is selected, that is, standing with both feet in the scanning area for collection and measurement.

Compared with depth camera measurement, laser measurement has higher accuracy. The measurement accuracy of most depth cameras is between 1-3mm, while laser scanning measurement can reach 0.5mm. Moreover, it can scan from 8 angles with comprehensive and high-precision data.


eFoot320 can obtain more than 60 sets of data. The collected data include: foot length, shoe size recommendation, foot width, insole recommendation, toe type analysis, big toe analysis (hallux valgus, hallux varus, normal big toe), arch height, arch width coefficient, arch analysis (flat foot, high arch, normal foot), heel analysis (heel varus, heel valgus, normal heel), arch length, big toe protrusion length, instep circumference length, toe length, waist socket length, foot width, oblique width, heel center width, total heel width, arch height, dimension measurement and angle measurement and other data.

These data can be presented in the form of charts on the measurement report, and can also generate three-dimensional data in STL and other formats. The three-dimensional data is mainly used for the design and production of customized shoes and corrective shoes.

eFoot320 is commonly applied in the following fields:

1. Customization of personalized footwear.

Through the measured data, it can be applied in stores to help users customize footwear and realize "one last for one foot", so that the made shoes have a higher fitting degree and improve comfort and experience.

2. Development of orthotic insoles and braces.

The measured three-dimensional foot data in STL and other formats enable rehabilitation therapists to formulate reasonable and scientific correction schemes, and produce orthotic insoles and braces with correction effects, such as correcting flat feet and high arches.

3. Medical application.

The introduction of this equipment in hospitals can help doctors quickly diagnose abnormal arch conditions, and provide data support before and after surgery, enabling doctors to formulate more reasonable and efficient treatment plans and rehabilitation training basis.

4. Application in adolescent foot development screening.

The introduction of this equipment in campuses can conduct batch screening of foot health of teenagers and children, so as to achieve early detection and early prevention, and better protect the healthy growth of teenagers' feet.

5. Foot big data and ergonomics.

By collecting a large amount of crowd foot data, it supports product research and development in the shoe industry and other industries, making the designed new products more in line with crowd needs and improving experience.
