If the shoe fits

Delcam has introduced a new range of orthopaedic software and hardware within its CRISPIN family of products for the footwear industry.

The products cover all stages, from data capture to pattern engineering, enabling a consistency approach to be taken throughout the development process.

OrthoScan is a variable resolution 3D laser foot scanner, that can also scan lasts and foot casts. The unit captures a scan of the complete foot and provides an STL data format template for export into the last modification software OrthoLast. It is portable so can be used to scan a customer’s feet on-site or, alternatively, in a dedicated shop.

OrthoLast then imports the scanned foot data in STL format. An existing last, with measurements close to the scanned foot, is then selected from a library and merged with the foot template. The last is modified to the required shape and measurements, to match the characteristics of the scanned foot. The new custom-designed last can then be saved and exported to OrthoStyle to 3D engineer the chosen style lines or to OrthoDesign for creating or appending complete footwear designs.
