With the rapid advancement in 3-D printing technology, we can offer you highly individualised orthoses that are lighter, thinner, stronger and “greener'“ than ever before.
We use best-in-class HP fusion jet printers to make our orthotics. This allows an accuracy and customisation that is unparalleled in traditional orthotic manufacture. The orthotics are manufactured layer by layer to a very thin, highly accurate degree - as small as 100 microns!
Footmed Orthotics was the first commercial lab in New Zealand to adopt this leading technology.
Our orthotics are made from PA-11 nylon, which is derived from caster beans (a natural organic resource) that provides the perfect balance, between strength, flexibility and durability.
This technology reduces up to 99% plastic waste when compared to traditional manufacturing techniques.
3-D printing offers versatility and endless design options. We engrave your client and clinic details, they look fantastic too.
These devices come with a 1 year structural integrity warranty on the shell.
