The quality of a seating or lying orthosis starts with the quality of measurement. An accurate recording of body position, contours and pressure distribution is the basis of a product that really fits. Shapemakers supplies handheld 3D scanners suitable for scanning vacuum pockets and body shape in seating and lying solutions.
A handheld 3D scanner records the three-dimensional shape of a body part or a filled vacuum bag. The scan provides an exact digital model of the user's recumbency or sitting position: contours, volume distribution and individual anatomical features.
That digital model is the starting point for the design of the seatingor lying orthosis in the accompanying software. From scan to design to production, without losing information during transfer.
A handheld scanner has a practical advantage over fixed scanning systems: you move the scanner around the user, not the other way around. This is relevant for people with limited mobility or complex posture.
The scanners provided by Shapemakers are compact, lightweight and fast to use. Integration with the design software is direct. The scan file goes straight into the software, without conversion or extra steps.
The process for seating and recumbent orthoses follows fixed steps:
Each step builds on the data from the previous one. The user's individual posture is ultimately in the final product.
Shapemakers works with several handheld scanner models, each with specific features for different situations.
In addition to these two handheld models, Shapemakers also supplies the Shining3D Einstar and the EinScan H2. Shapemakers will advise which model best suits your working method and the patient group you work with.
The scanners connect directly to the design software for mobility solutions. The implementation is straightforward. Shapemakers guides you in linking to your software and working methods, so that you can be operational quickly.
