Häussler Technische Orthopädie is pioneering advancements in the orthotic and prosthetic industry through its use of Geomagic Freeform technology. The company aims to streamline digital design processes, making them more accessible and efficient for professionals in the field.
Orthotic and prosthetic (O&P) professionals face the daily challenge of creating perfectly-fitting devices tailored to individual anatomies. In an effort to optimize workflow and improve accuracy, many are turning to digital tools like 3D scanning. However, the transition to digital methods often presents a steep learning curve.
Recognizing this, Häussler developed the TOscan-UE tool along with automated scan editing in Geomagic Freeform. This innovation offers a plug-and-play solution that simplifies 3D modelling of upper extremities, making digital design more user-friendly.
The introduction of the Dynabot within their system allows users, ranging from beginners to advanced technicians, to prepare body models with ease. Alexander Krieger, manager of Häussler’s TOplus product range, highlighted the tool’s ability to improve speed and efficiency, stating, “The Dynabot simplifies the process so that even beginners can prepare a body model, and advanced users model much faster. It saves a lot of design time.”
Häussler’s commitment to simplifying digital workflows is making advanced design tools more accessible to a wider range of professionals, supporting the transition to standardized digital orthotic and prosthetic design.
