Autonomous 3D orthotic printer for foot care clinics
Belt 3D printer with 72+ hours of continuous unmanned production. About eight pairs per day, around 50 a week, no dedicated staff, designed for a clinic countertop.
Specifications
- 72+ hours of continuous autonomous operation.
- About 8 pairs of orthotics per day, around 50 a week, hands-off.
- One pair roughly every 3 hours, depending on size, width and thickness.
- Runs on a standard power outlet, no special ventilation required.
- Clinical-grade thermoplastic material, ready for direct fitting.
- Predictable maintenance, podiatrist-led support included.
Why in-clinic
- The printer works while you see patients.
- Reprint the same day if you adjust a correction.
- No per-pair lab fees: your materials, your margin.
One printer or a full fleet. The system scales with you.
Start with a single unit running autonomously in a back room. Add printers as volume grows. The same software and workflow runs solo units and large production fleets without changing anything about how you operate.
72+ hours of continuous operation. Start a batch, walk away. It runs while you sleep.
No protective equipment needed. No dust, no residue, no fumes. Safe to operate in any room of your clinic.
Track production status from your phone. Know when a batch is complete without being in the room.
Add units to increase capacity. No additional labor per printer. 2 printers = 2x output, 0 extra staff.
Based on continuous unmanned operation at about 8 pairs per printer a day, around 50 a week (roughly one pair every 3 hours, depending on size, width and thickness). Each additional printer multiplies capacity linearly. Zero added labor per unit.
