3D Printed Insoles

For every entrepreneur who wants to determine the future of foot care

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.

Print custom-made insoles

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.

Fully customizable

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.

Faster Production

Your clients benefit from fast delivery of the medical device and your practice benefits from high production reliability. Our complete solution provides in both.

Exclusive 3D printing filaments for foot-care

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.

Best-in-class software

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.

 
Optimized 3D printers

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.

Medical-grade materials

Our insole materials meet ISO 10993 medical standards, ensuring safety, durability and biocompatibility for your clients. 

 
Personalized and MDR compliant

Personalize the 3D printed custom-made insoles with your practice name, company logo and the MDR traceability number.
