Delcam Upgrades Software for Design of Custom Orthotic Insoles

Delcam has launched the 2015 version of its OrthoMODEL software for the design of custom orthotic insoles.  The new release includes the ability to design three-quarter-length rigid orthotics and an extended range of corrections for rigid orthotics, plus other enhancements.  For further details, please go to lz.orthotics- cadcam.com

OrthoMODEL offers ‘real-time design’ of both accommodative orthotics, ideal for patients with diabetes and for those requiring comfort insoles, and corrective orthotics, to address problems with the patient’s foot orientation and gait cycle.

The software has a direct interface to Delcam’s iQube range of scanners, all of which are able to scan the patient’s foot, foam boxes or casts.  As an open system, OrthoMODEL can also import scan data from most other systems as well as create NC code for orthotics generated in other CAD systems.

The main addition to the 2015 release is the new option to create three-quarter-length rigid orthotics.  The new style can be selected from the existing menu of orthotic types, with the same options to specify the size and width required for the patient.

The range of corrections that can be made to rigid devices has been extended in OrthoMODEL.  Options available to be added now include extrinsic and intrinsic forefoot and rearfoot posts, as well as heel lifts and raises.

In addition, all rigid orthotics can now be designed with constant thickness across their width, even in areas with steep walls, thereby maintaining rigidity.

Other enhancements in OrthoMODEL 2015 include support for orthotics with flat heels, dynamic reporting of the pad height as a pad is adjusted, and an easier method to set up a new library of orthotics with improved error reporting if details are entered incorrectly.

As with all of Delcam’s products for the orthotics industry, the new software has been developed in association with Delcam customers from laboratories, podiatrists and orthotists around the world, coupled with Delcam’s knowledge of footwear design and manufacture gained from its relationships with leading brands.
