Research & Development
Shaping innovations with technical know-how and creative ideas developed in-house.
A dedicated department for innovations
Whether funded projects in cooperation with research institutions or internal company ideas: Our R&D team develops its own concepts, manufactures special components and aids and sets new impulses in the care of patients.
The combination of 3D printing and 2D/3D scanning makes us an innovative link between traditional craftsmanship and the digital future – directly on site, with direct benefits for our customers.
We would also be happy to advise you on possible cost coverage.
Our services at a glance
2D/3D Scan
Our scanners allow us to capture feet, legs, and even the entire body
3D Design
Using state-of-the-art CAD software, we develop digital models that are precisely tailored to individual requirements
3D Printing
This is how Industry 4.0 craftsmanship works
Technological developments are not a thing of the future in orthotics and prosthetics. They are already being used today. The combination of traditional knowledge, digital thinking, and direct in-house implementation makes research tangible for us.
Our innovative strength is evident not only in externally funded projects, but also in numerous internal developments, ranging from digital design and the manufacturing of specialized aids to their application in everyday care. We rely on interdisciplinary collaboration, modern infrastructure, and a practical approach.
Here’s what our customers say
When my son had a serious sports accident, we were sent from the hospital to Orthopädie Scharpenberg because we needed an orthosis. We were given a very warm welcome, hardly had to wait at all, and the product was explained to us very clearly. We received excellent care in every respect.

Modern technology meets craftsmanship
The close integration of research, application, and workshop operations results in products and solutions that are not only theoretically convincing but also function effectively in everyday use. We utilize state-of-the-art equipment: multiple 3D printers, high-end scanners, and camera-based systems are in constant use, all at our headquarters.
