How do I choose a foot scanner? And what makes 3DOE different from other brands?

A foot scanner is a foot measuring device.

The foot scanners of 3DOE mainly include plantar 3D scanners and whole-foot 3D laser scanners.

The plantar scanner is mainly used to measure the morphological data such as the 3D data of the plantar, while the whole-foot 3D scanner is mainly used to measure the key dimensional information such as the 3D data information of the whole foot. Both of them are measured by the principle of laser, and there is only a slight difference in the measurement range.

The plantar scanner only measures the data of the plantar, while the whole-foot scanner measures the data of the whole foot, and the range is wider.

So, how should a foot scanner be selected?

Look at the application scenarios.

If it is for the design and manufacture of custom insoles, it is recommended to choose the plantar 3D scanner, because making insoles only requires the data of the plantar.

Of course, using a whole-foot scanner is also acceptable, but the price will be relatively expensive, which is somewhat not worthwhile.

If it is for making custom shoes or corrective shoes, a whole-foot scanner is needed, because making custom shoes requires the data of the whole foot.

If it is used in a store, it depends on what the core products of the store sell.

If the core products of the store are insoles, it is recommended to purchase a plantar scanner. Through the measurement of the plantar scanner, the plantar health of the customers can be evaluated, and smart insole selection can also be provided for the customers.

If the core products of the store are shoes, it is recommended to purchase a whole-foot scanner. Through the measurement of the whole-foot scanner, the foot health of the customers can be intelligently evaluated, and smart shoe size selection can also be provided for the customers, allowing them to quickly find shoes that fit their feet.

If it is applied in hospitals or rehabilitation institutions, it also depends on the main application. If the data collection does not require so much, a plantar scanner can be chosen. If more comprehensive data is needed, a whole-foot scanner should be chosen.

Look at the budget.

In addition to looking at the application scenarios, the budget also needs to be considered.

If the budget is not high, a plantar scanner can be chosen. Although the data is not so rich, it can meet most application scenarios.

If the budget is sufficient, a whole-foot scanner can be chosen. The experience will be better, and the measurement report will also be more comprehensive.

What is the difference between the plantar scanners and whole-foot scanners of 3DOE and those of other brands?

The scanning equipment of 3DOE adopts the principle of laser, while most of the competing products on the market adopt depth cameras.

The accuracy of 3DOE can reach within 0.5mm, while the accuracy of depth cameras is mostly 3-5mm. The accuracy of 3DOE is higher. Especially for the correction customization of insoles and shoes and foot diagnosis, the higher the accuracy, the better.

The whole-foot scanner of 3DOE features independent space scanning for both feet, without interference. While those of other brands have mutual occlusion between the two feet, which will cause inaccurate evaluation.

Both the hardware and software of 3DOE are independently developed, with over 17 years of experience. It is more professional and reliable, and the after-sales service is also guaranteed.
