2D/3D scan

Scanning technology used in medicine and technology

Whether it’s precise foot measurement or complex body shapes, our modern 2D and 3D scans allow us to capture anatomical structures quickly, contactlessly, and with high accuracy. The Rothballer 2D scanner enables a precise analysis of foot shape and digitally creates a foam impression. This allows us not only to calculate the exact shoe size but also to create the basis for individually customized orthotics.

Our 3D scanners from Artec, Shining3D, and Bodylux go even further: In seconds, they create a high-resolution digital model with realistic texture, ideal for producing prosthetic covers and sockets. Especially when combined with 3D printing, this opens up entirely new avenues in patient care. Our in-house research team is also working on an internal volume measuring device that will further increase accuracy for more complex structures.

Innovative Research

The development of an internal volume measuring device turns 3D scanning into a complete solution for precise measurements

Digital precision creates better care

Scanning systems have become indispensable in modern orthotics and prosthetics. Their major advantage: the data can be digitally stored, analyzed, and processed directly, for example, to create a medical report or as a basis for custom-made aids. Particularly in the field of orthotic insoles, 2D scanning enables a fast and accurate capture of the foot profile. At the same time, these methods are gentle on the patient, as they are completely contactless and completed in a very short time.

Here’s what our customers say

Slide

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.

Our in-house R&D team acts as a driving force for our entire supply chain. With direct access to the workshop, patient contact, and technology lab, ideas from practical experience flow directly into new developments, and vice versa

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between 2D and 3D scanning?

A 2D scan creates a two-dimensional view, for example of a foot, to capture dimensions and contours. A 3D scan, on the other hand, provides a complete, three-dimensional model of an object, including depth and texture.

What is the 2D scanner used for?

We primarily use the 2D scanner for precise foot measurement. It is ideally suited for providing orthotics or as a basis for medical reports.

What are the advantages of 3D scanning?

It enables the detailed, non-contact capture of complex body shapes, ideal for orthoses, prosthetic covers and other applications.

Can the scan data be processed directly?

Yes – they serve as a basis for CAD planning, medical documentation or for 3D printing.

How long does a scan take?

The data collection process usually only takes a few seconds to minutes, depending on the application.
