Software for seating and recumbent orthoses

Seating and recumbent orthoses have specific design requirements. Three-dimensional body posture, individual pressure distribution and desired positioning must all be incorporated into a coherent product. Software developed for this purpose works differently from general CAD packages.Shapemakers provides a 3D design software built specifically for seating and lying orthoses, with direct linkage to milling and 3D printing.

What does software for seating and orthotics do?

The software is a 3D environment within which you design seatingand recumbent orthoses based on scanned or measured body data. You import the vacuum bag scan file, model the orthosis on the scanned shape and define the zones for support, pressure distribution and positioning.

The system was developed for this specific application area. The tools and workflow match the issues encountered in seating and lying solutions.

From scan to design in 3D

You load in the scan of the vacuum bag or body part. The software converts that scan into an editable 3D model on which you build the design.

You will adjust support zones, define pressure areas and match positioning to the treatment objective.

Everything is visible in 3D. You see the effect of every adjustment directly in the model, before anything is produced. That gives insight and prevents surprises after delivery.
