FootPrint3D offers a unique and complete solution for 3D printing of custom-made insoles, shoe lasts and test shoes. As an innovative knowledge company, we have bridged the gap between raw materials, hardware, software and expertise in foot and shoe care. With our solutions we make 3D printing accessible to every podiatrist and orthopedic shoe technologist.
Years of 3D printing experience
3D Printed Insoles
Starting with in-house 3D printing can seem daunting. Our complete solution makes it easy and accessible for every foot care professional. With easy-to-use software and intuitive workflows, anyone can get started with 3D printing quickly.
3D printing is cost effective compared to other production methods for custom-made insoles. Unlike milled soles, there is minimal material waste and manual finishing is also eliminated. At the same time, production speed increases and experience shows that insole adjustments are needed less often.
We understand that you want to spend as much time as possible with your clients. That is why we offer a total solution for effortless switching; from scanning feet to controlling the 3D printer. It has never been easier to make the switch to 3D printing and quickly produce high-quality, custom-made insoles.
Pollution of the earth by microplastics is an increasing problem. FootPrint3D helps you make a socially responsible choice. With 3D printed insoles there is less than 3% waste as opposed to approximately 80% waste with milled insoles.
All our raw materials are suitable for the intended purpose, the safe production of custom-made insoles. Our materials are extensively tested and of course we have all the documentation to ensure appropriate traceability according to the Medical Device Regulation.
We want our insole materials to be 100% safe for use in medical devices. That is why they are tested according to ISO 10993 standards for toxicity. We guarantee that our 3D printed insole materials are safe, reliable and biocompatible.
We will help you with a worry-free transition, even if you have no experience with 3D printing. Our team has years of knowledge and experience and is ready to support you.
Safe and efficient production of custom-made insoles requires 3D printers to be installed, validated, materials tested, and the printer environment controlled. By using our raw materials, hardware and software, we guarantee production reliability, safety, and quality.
Unique insoles with a comfortable fit for every client. Fully in line with the role as manufacturer of custom-made medical devices within the Medical Devices Regulation.
Your clients benefit from fast delivery of the medical device and your practice benefits from high production reliability. Our complete solution provides in both.
FootPrint3D’s R&D department is continuously testing materials (TPU, TPC, TPE, PP, PLA, PETG) for suitability in foot and shoe care use. For custom-made insoles we recommend the use of TPU. TPU stands for Thermoplastic Polyurethane and is the ideal material for making custom-made insoles. This material belongs to the family of thermoplastic elastomers that soften when heated and harden when cooled down. Flexible and durable, it ensures maximum comfort and support. It also offers many options with regard to freedom of shape and the setting of different hardnesses.
We partner with LutraCAD, the industry’s leading software, to simplify design. In just minutes, you can create fully customized insoles, shoe lasts or test shoes ready for 3D printing.
We’ve carefully qualified the most suitable 3D printers on the market and provide
customization kits to optimize them for insole, shoe last or test shoe production. As 3D printers continue to improve and become more affordable, our approach allows us to always offer you the best 3D printer for the best price.
Our insole materials meet ISO 10993 medical standards, ensuring safety, durability and biocompatibility for your clients.
Personalize the 3D printed custom-made insoles with your practice name, company logo and the MDR traceability number.
We may be new to you but we are not new to the industry. We have extensive experience producing custom-made insoles, shoe lasts and test shoes. What makes us unique is this bundled knowledge between raw materials, hardware, software and professional knowledge about foot and shoe care. As a progressive knowledge company, we are constantly looking for solutions that make 3D printing accessible to every podiatrist and orthopedic shoe technologist.
Footprint3D is an innovative knowledge company that bridges the gap between raw materials, hardware, software and expertise in foot and shoe care. Our mission is to take foot care to Industry 5.0.
