What are the basic functions of a foot scanner? What are its most common applications?

The plantar scanner utilizes high-precision 3D data acquisition and intelligent analysis technology to achieve innovative applications in healthcare, sports, rehabilitation, and commercial sectors. Its core functions and application scenarios are as follows:

1. Core Functions

Millimeter-level 3D modeling

Non-contact laser/blue light scanning, acquiring over 20 parameters including foot length, width, and arch height in 10 seconds

Generates submillimeter-level precision models (error ≤ ±0.5mm)

2. Dynamic Biomechanical Analysis

Static mode quantifies arch collapse (e.g., flat feet, high arches)

3. Intelligent Data Processing

Automatically export STL models for direct connection to 3D printing systems to create customized insoles

Establish a foot database for long-term tracking of developmental trajectory or rehabilitation outcomes Result

4. Core application scenarios

(1) Medical and health field

Flat foot/high arch foot correction

Accurate diagnosis of arch collapse type (structural/functional)

Drive 3D printing of customized insoles, with fitting error ≤ 0.1mm, to improve arch support in a targeted manner

(2) Children's foot development monitoring

Regular scanning to establish an arch growth model, and the correction success rate in the golden intervention period (3-8 years old) increased by 40%

(3) Sports and rehabilitation

Athlete foot adaptation

Match the best sports shoes to reduce the risk of sports injuries

Optimize gait analysis (compatible with Maya/Blender) and improve muscle compensation mode

(4) Postoperative rehabilitation management

Quantify parameters such as calcaneal valgus angle and dynamically adjust the rehabilitation plan

️(5) Business and consumption

Shoe customization and retail

Quickly scan recommended shoe sizes in stores to improve shopping experience and customer flow

Generate foot pressure reports to guide consumers in shoe selection (e.g., relieve metatarsal pain)

(6) Extended scenarios

Rehabilitation engineering: Design of gait correction programs for scoliosis patients

Occupational disease prevention: Early warning of foot pressure imbalance for workers who stand for long periods of time
