  • $500.00


Course Description: Our 3D Foot Orthotic Scanning, Design and 3D Printing course provides 24 hours of scanning, design and 3D printing experience. The 24 hours of the course consists of self-paced how-to lectures and labs.  The student will learn scanning techniques and software, how to design and modify, how to create a model simulation, and finish with custom 3D printed orthoses.

You will learn to scan a foot, design a custom orthotic from that scan, modify the design, create a simulated model and 3D print a custom accommodative foot orthosis, a custom functional foot orthosis, and a custom UCBL. Access to a 3D printer is recommended. We suggest a FLSUN QQ-S pro, an Ender 5, or Artillery Sidewinder X2. Purchase not required.

Course Objective: 3D Foot Orthotic Scanning, Design, and 3D Printing will give you the basic knowledge to create custom foot orthotics and UCBLs for your patients.

Course length: 24 hours self-paced
