The large market for foot orthotics is growing every day, and while traditional methods of manufacturing can't always quickly or cost-effectively produce custom, advanced orthotic designs, 3D printing can. 3D printing and advanced manufacturing service provider Stratasys Direct Manufacturing (SDM) has partnered with medical equipment supplier Peacocks Medical Group to maximize 3D printing for the large-scale production of custom orthotics. Together, the two are introducing Podfo, orthotics built through the Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) 3D printing process. The technology can create complex design geometries, and allows for multiple features in one device, which means no more pads and foams or top-covers, like traditionally manufactured orthotics include. Peacocks created the Podfo line to offer patients increased mobility, pain relief, and a customized experience, and Podfos definitely deliver.
