Gaitworx is proud to offer advanced 3D printed orthoses utilising cutting-edge technology. Our 3D printing capabilities enable us to create personalised custom foot orthoses with unparalleled precision and design flexibility. By harnessing additive manufacturing, we can achieve orthotic designs that surpass the limitations of conventional manufacturing methods.

The benefits of 3D printing in orthotic production are substantial. This manufacturing approach allows us to adjust design parameters according to the specific requirements of clinicians and patients, resulting in highly tailored orthoses. The level of accuracy achieved through 3D printing is exceptional, ensuring consistent replication with minimal variation.

Moreover, our use of 3D printing significantly reduces material waste compared to traditional direct milling techniques. We are able to achieve up to 90% less waste, contributing to a more sustainable manufacturing process.

By utilising these high-quality 3D printing materials, we can create orthoses that combine functionality, comfort, and longevity, ensuring optimal performance and patient satisfaction.

Gaitworx is dedicated to harnessing the full potential of 3D printing technology to provide our customers with state-of-the-art orthotic solutions.
