We have teamed up with Crispin Orthotics to bring you the very latest innovations and engineered designs of orthotics.
There are thousands of people who are affected by medical conditions such as diabetes, arthritis and cerebral palsy. These can create symptoms and pain in their feet, ankles, knees and other parts of their bodies.
Very often these conditions are painful and make everyday tasks difficult. By using Orthotics, this can prevent, correct or relieve symptoms. 3D printed braces from Crispin Orthotics is innovation at is best. Every patient that comes to The Lakes Orthotics has an individual condition that requires an individual solution, that’s why all of our orthotics service covers everything from assessment and fitting to aftercare.
Using the HP Jet Fusion 3D printer we can create designs that are only limited by our imagination. Orthoses that are extremely low profile, lightweight, but incredibly strong are not only possible but are right here, right now.
We can print supports so thin that the material acts like a fabric but has the strength of carbon fibre, or we can print an AFO as strong as a carbon fibre device but flexible enough to allow you to walk up and down hills.
We have various appointments available that will give you the best course of treatment to ease your symptoms
Check our availability and book an appointment with our Orthotist. At your appointment we will discuss the issues you are having, carry out a full assessment, fully explain our findings, and then recommend a treatment plan.
3D printed braces revolutionise orthotic products to patients
Step 1: 3D scan
We scan any part of the body with our 3D scanning technology. This provides an image of the affected area for our technicians to create a model to work with.
Step 2: 3D Modelling
The scan is imported into our industry specific computer aided design software. This allows our orthotic technicians to adapt the model to make positional changes such as increasing or reducing the angle of a joint.
Step 3: 3D Design
The adjusted model is then sent to our 3D design software which will create a 3D printed orthotic device based around the virtual model.
Step 4: The fun begins!
Once the product is designed, it is then sent to the production grade 3D printer where it is printed in nylon and finished by hand.
Step 5: Finished product
After letting the machine do its work, the 3D printed Orthoses range is supplied to your Orthotist and presented to our patients.
