The Role of CAD Technology in Manufacturing Bespoke Orthotics

The Role of CAD Technology in Manufacturing Bespoke Orthotics

At Enertor Medical, precision and quality are at the core of our bespoke orthotics manufacturing process. Our use of computer-aided design (CAD) technology ensures clinics receive orthotics tailored to each patient’s unique needs.

The Manufacturing Process

  1. Foot Assessment and Scanning
    Clinics provide detailed patient foot scans, capturing the shape, pressure points, and biomechanics. Advanced scanning tools ensure every aspect of the foot is accounted for, down to the millimetre.

  2. Designing with CAD Technology
    Our specialists use CAD software to create an exact 3D model of the orthotic. This step allows for adjustments in:

    • Arch height
    • Heel contouring
    • Pressure distribution

    CAD ensures precise alignment with the patient’s needs, significantly improving comfort and effectiveness.

  3. Machining and Finishing
    Once the design is approved, the CAD file is sent to our CNC milling machines. These machines carve the orthotic from high-quality materials with unmatched accuracy. Each orthotic is then hand-finished to ensure a smooth fit and durability.

  4. Quality Control and Delivery
    Every orthotic undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it meets clinical specifications. Once approved, it is delivered to the clinic for final fitting.

Why CAD Technology Matters for Clinics

The integration of CAD technology enables faster turnaround times, greater precision, and consistent quality. Clinics partnering with Enertor Medical benefit from reliable, repeatable results for every patient.
