1. Base

The Base tab is your starting point for custom orthotic designs, containing all tools needed to begin your project.

Macro​

Visibility

Only visible when at least one macro exists in the library.

Apply pre-configured settings to quickly set up designs for specific foot types, production methods, or customer requirements.

Pattern​

Select or change your insole shape template. For designs with existing shapes, use this to change the template.

A pop-up offers four options:

  • Full Contact: Total contact device following 3D scan (similar to vacuum molded devices)
  • Prefab 3D: Comparable to off-the-shelf neutral 3D insoles
  • Sensomotoric: Flat base for adding elements to build the device
  • Import: Accept designs from other platforms for milling or 3D printing

Production Method​

Choose your manufacturing approach:

Milling​

  • EVA: Standard one-sided milling with vacuum table
  • EVA 2 Sided: Two-sided milling (requires clamping system)
  • Mold: Creates millable molds for vacuum forming
  • Shell: Functional orthotics for 2-sided milling

3D Printing​

  • Solid: Accommodative insoles with variable hardness regions
  • Shell: Functional orthotics for 3D printing

3D Printer​

Visibility

Only visible when a Printing production method is selected.

Select your preferred printer and material combination.

Scans 2D​

Visibility

Only visible when project contains 2D scans.

Add 2D scans as design references.

Pressure Measurement​

Visibility

Only visible when project contains pressure measurement data.

Add pressure measurements as design references.

Scans 3D​

Visibility

Only visible when project contains 3D scans.

Use for full contact insoles or as references with prefab 3D devices.

Align Manual​

Adjust incorrectly positioned 3D scans by marking three anatomical landmarks:

  • Metatarsal 1
  • Metatarsal 5
  • Center of heel

The software then automatically aligns the scans.

Elements​

Add components to your design:

  • Elements: Added on top of the device
  • Sinks: Remove material to relieve pressure points
