FootPrint3D offers a unique and complete solution for printing custom-made insoles. 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.
3D printing of custom-made insoles is technical and complicated. 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 Devices Regulation.
We want our materials to be 100% safe for use in medical devices. That is why they are tested according to ISO 10993 standards for toxicity and skin sensitization. We guarantee that our 3D printed insoles 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 guarantee that our 3D printed custom-made insoles are safe, reliable and biocompatible.
You can adjust the hardness (per anatomical zone) of the custom-made insoles according to your own wishes.
Perfect fit in the shoe due to better tailoring of the bottom profile and options to personalize the infill of the custom-made insoles.
Personalize the 3D printed custom-made insoles with your practice name, company logo and the MDR traceability number.

Yes, our 3D printing technology makes it possible to create custom-made insoles for each individual client, providing better fit, comfort and support. Completely in line with the role as manufacturer of custom-made medical devices within the MDR.
All our materials are compliant with MDR legislation and have been tested for toxicity and skin sensitization according to Normative references: ISO 10993-5 (2009), ISO 10993-1 (2021); ISO 10993-12 (2021).
Our 3D printing technology makes it possible to produce custom-made insoles in 60 minutes per sole. Printing a pair of insoles takes an average of 2 hours.
The materials we supply are thermoplastically deformable. This means that the custom-made insoles can be adjusted under heat. It is of course also possible to add elements afterwards. Special glue must be used that has good adhesion to TPU.
