Transforming Orthotics and Prosthetics with 3D Scanning Technology
Step into the future of O&P care with digital precision. From capturing accurate patient data to creating fully customized orthoses and prostheses, 3D scanning transforms how clinicians work. Deliver faster results, improve patient comfort, all while reducing costs and streamlining workflows.
Why Digital O&P?
The traditional plaster casting process in orthotics and prosthetics is often slow, messy, and uncomfortable for patients, while also leaving room for inconsistencies. By adopting a digital O&P workflow powered by 3D scanning, clinicians and technicians can capture precise patient data in minutes, design personalized devices with greater confidence, and streamline production through 3D printing or CNC manufacturing. This modern approach not only improves efficiency and accuracy but also enhances the patient experience, ensures traceable digital records, and helps clinics scale their services with reduced costs and faster turnaround times.
3D Scanning in Orthotic and Prosthetic Industry
Compared to the traditional plaster casting method, 3D scanning offers
Enhanced Accuracy
Capture fine human body details with millimeter-level precision.
Increased Efficiency
Shorten production cycles and reduce manual steps.
Improved Patient Experience
Provide a non-contact, fast, and comfortable scanning process.
Customized Design
Create truly personalized orthoses and prostheses tailored to each patient.
Traceable Data
Secure and trace every scan for easy storage and reuse.
Cost-Effective
ower labor costs, reduce rework, and optimize material usage.
How Does Digital O&P Maximize Your Value?
Adopting a digital O&P workflow is not only about improving accuracy and patient comfort; it’s also a smart investment. Clinics that integrate 3D scanning and digital design typically cut production time by 80%, lower rework and material waste, and handle more cases with the same resources. This efficiency translates directly into cost savings, higher patient satisfaction, and sustainable business growth.

It's super intuitive. The fact that you can see real feedback of what you're scanning is really impressive. I think it's something that can really make a difference. So now heads up for this one.

So I just used medixa for the first time. Very impressed. You know, tripping over those chords and everything to have that freedom there. And it fills in very quickly and very clearly.

It's my first time using the SHINING 3D Medixa. We attempted to scan a Fusion AFO, it worked out really well. It was nice having the screen to see what I was scanning. Instead of looking at a laptop or trying to figure out where the scanner was in space. That really made a big difference.

The weight is really nice, and it works really well. The user experience works really well. It's designed for the particular case. And I really love the way that the scanner behaved. When I scanned the mannequin yesterday at the workshop, it's that intuitive and goes quickly.

"There are a lot of people with amputations in Africa, and most of them have never been to school or only have some basic knowledge. the EinScan H2 has made it possible for those without too much knowledge to learn and use it well. It is worth mentioning its accuracy, which helped us a lot."
