HP MULTI JET FUSION HELPS CUSTOMIZE ORTHOTICS FOR PATIENTS

Optimus 3D provides engineering and part manufacturing solutions, using different Additive Manufacturing technologies, both in plastic materials or resins as well as metals, in different high-tech markets such as the automotive, aerospace, industrial, and medical sectors.

Optimus 3D collaborated with Bioef and the Osakidetza-Basurto traumatology team to 3D scan the hand of a patient who suffers from rhizarthrosis. The scan was then used to design a customized orthosis for the patient.

The mesh derived from the map of points generated by the 3D scanner allowed the team to design a model that is fully customized for the patient. With CAD 3D tools, they can continue to optimize the design to obtain lighter models, reduce material, and improve ergonomics.
